"The Finnish and Estonian police have completed their work on board the ship, and therefore the seizure can be lifted," they wrote in a press release.
One person from the crew has been detained. Other crew members have been banned from traveling.
Damage to a cable between Helsinki and Tallinn was discovered on New Year's Eve. The damage occurred in Estonia's exclusive economic zone.
The 132-meter-long cargo ship was en route from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Haifa, Israel, when it was stopped by border guards and taken to a port in Finland. The ship is believed to have dragged its anchor tens of kilometers in the Gulf of Finland between Finland and Estonia.
The incident is being investigated on suspicion of serious damage, attempted serious damage and serious disruption of postal and telecommunications traffic.
