    That tanker that floats around in the baltic has 100.000 Tonnes of crude oil in it.

      If you are referring to Eagle S, it carried 35 000 tons of unleaded fuel.

      We Finns have impounded the contents.

      The ship itself will probably not be released back, due it being a tool for crime. Likely it will be sold in order to decrease the repair costs of the cable. Or stripped for parts.

      The seamen operating it are being processed by our judical system for crimes: 9 (out of 24) are suspected for sabotage and disrupting communications.
