Russian Spy Drone Ship Heads to Vaasa: Concerns and Speculation Mount
European security services are closely monitoring the cargo ship HAV Dolphin, currently en route to Vaasa, Finland, due to suspicions of its involvement in supporting Russian surveillance activities. The ship, flagged in Antigua and Barbuda, previously made an unusually long stop near a German naval base, coinciding with drone sightings. Although inspections by German and Dutch police yielded no definitive evidence, the vessel’s slow travel and Russian crew have fueled concerns. The ship’s captain declined to comment on the suspicions, while the owner denies any wrongdoing and the steel importer claimed they were unaware of the vessel.
