Sweden's accident investigators report they cannot conclude whether the Yi Peng 3's anchor damage to the C-Lion 1 Baltic Sea cable was accidental or sabotage, citing limited access to evidence aboard the Chinese vessel; they present two hypotheses (deliberate anchor release versus improper securing) while noting other recent anchor-drag cable breaks in the region, some of which authorities now believe were caused by weather, equipment, or seamanship issues rather than coordinated sabotage.
