The assignment has been given to the company Baltic Offshore, which on Thursday left the harbor in Kalmar with the cable-laying vessel Pleijel.

Next week, we will be up and running with traffic again, says CEO Natalie Franzén to the radio.

The 86-meter-long vessel has been positioned where the cable is to be located. With the help of a drag, a kind of anchor, the cable will then be picked up at sea.

So we go and find out how long this is and then we'll fill in a bit, says Franzén.

The two data cables in the Baltic Sea, one between Finland and Germany and one between Sweden and Lithuania, have failed or been damaged in a short time. Swedish authorities suspect sabotage and are investigating the crime.
