Finland Creates Maritime Surveillance Centre To Protect Cables
Finland will set up a maritime surveillance centre to protect undersea power cables, telecom links and pipelines in the Baltic Sea after repeated damage since 2022. Led by the Border Guard and coordinated with Baltic neighbours and the European Commission, the centre will prioritize prevention using seabed sensors, AI and real-time allied data sharing. Officials said it will be built gradually with existing capabilities and EU funding.
