China had on Thursday allowed representatives from Germany, Sweden, Finland and Denmark to board the Yi Peng 3 along with Chinese investigators, breaking a month-long diplomatic standoff.

“It has started moving and has said it is going to Port Said in Egypt,” a Swedish Coastguard spokesperson told Reuters on Saturday.

“We are tracking the ship and are in close contact with other concerned authorities,” the spokesperson added.

No further details were given and the spokesperson did not say whether any evidence had been found regarding the cable breaches.

“We are content with the visit onboard, which was relatively open and transparent and we had the possibility to see what we wanted to see and to talk to the crew members that we wanted to talk with,” Jonas Bäckstrand, chair of Sweden’s accident investigation authority, said on Friday.

The Baltic Sea cables, one linking Finland and Germany and the other connecting Sweden to Lithuania, were damaged on November 17 and 18, prompting German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius to say he assumed this was caused by sabotage.

Investigators quickly zeroed in on the Chinese ship, which left the Russian port of Ust-Luga on November 15, but faced difficulty in gathering crucial evidence and interviews.

This is because vessels in international waters benefit from the “freedom of navigation” principle, meaning a state cannot interfere with ships sailing under the flag of another state.

Denmark, which helped broker a compromise allowing the European nations to send representatives on board, on Thursday said the Yi Peng 3 would be able to resume its journey following the inspection.

Sweden's accident investigation authority said it had inspected the vessel alongside a similar Chinese agency, while police officers from Finland, Germany, Sweden and Denmark were present as observers.
