Together we will become sharper and more effective at detecting and responding to various incidents, especially those related to cable safety, says the Coast Guard's Director General, Lena Lindgren Schelin.
The Coast Guard has been assigned by the government to be Sweden's contact in a Finnish initiative to develop cooperation among the Baltic Sea countries (excluding Russia).
The Minister of Civil Defense, Carl-Oskar Bohlin (M), says that events in the Baltic Sea have shown the need for faster sharing of information.
"We have seen that there has been a gap in communication between authorities in different countries."
