According to a Financial Times report, Taiwan has asked South Korea for help with the investigation after an undersea cable was damaged off the northern coast of Taiwan. Telecommunications operator Chunghwa Telecom and Taiwan’s coast guard suspect the cargo ship „Shunxing 39“ of deliberately destroying the cable. Satellite data had shown that the ship had dragged its anchor across the seabed. The ship has reportedly been cruising off Taiwan’s coast since the start of December. The case is reminiscent of similar incidents in the Baltic Sea and elsewhere.
