💨 Abstract

Estonia has called for an update to international maritime law to prevent damage to undersea infrastructure, such as cables and pipelines, following repeated damage to cables connecting it to Finland. Finnish authorities recently seized a Russian ship suspected of causing the outage of a power cable and damaging internet lines. The Estonian government plans to submit an application to the International Maritime Organization in February to modernize the law, as the current law does not cover underwater damage.
