Estonian transmission system operator (TSO) Elering and its Finnish counterpart Fingrid have withdrawn the request to seize the ship that broke the EstLink 2 power connection in December 2024 for compensation for damages, and plan to sue the shipowner for compensation for repair costs.

To remind, Fingrid reported to the authorities on December 25, 2024, the failure of Estlink 2, prompting an immediate investigation into the chain of events of the incident as well as whether a foreign ship is involved in the damage.
