Yi Peng 3 has been monitored since last week by the Danish navy. Danish authorities have not responded to why the ship is lying still in the Kattegat with the Danish defense as company.
Swedish police have previously pointed out the ship as interesting in the investigation into the suspected sabotage of the cables.
One cable goes between Finland and Germany and the other between Sweden and Lithuania. Germany's federal police are also investigating the incident together with Swedish and Finnish authorities, according to the country's interior ministry to TT.
Discussions with China
SVT News reports, citing a Swedish authority source, that discussions are underway with several countries. The goal is to be able to board the Chinese ship to investigate the cable breaks.
Denmark's radio also has information that discussions are underway with China.
Near Yi Peng 3 in the Kattegat, there is also the Swedish Coast Guard.
We are in the area, just like ships from Denmark and Germany, says Mattias Lindholm, press spokesperson at the Coast Guard.
Aborted investigations
At present, the primary task is monitoring, he says, but the Coast Guard has readiness for further actions, if so, on the directive of the police and prosecutors.
The Navy's investigations of the broken cables in the Baltic Sea were aborted on Sunday. They can, however, be resumed if prosecutors and police wish so.
We'll see if they have wishes to complete the investigations in some way, says the Navy's press officer Jimmie Adamsson.
Jimmie Adamsson does not want to comment on any findings or the defense's presence in the Kattegat.
We have a constant presence around our coast in the Baltic Sea and on the West Coast, he says.
