Also they were dropping sensors into the English Channel along the way.
While the portable equipment was too powerful to be driven by the ships electricity system.
The Russia-linked tanker which damaged an undersea electricity cable on Christmas Day also dropped sensors in the English Channel, sources have said.
Finnish Special Forces seized the spy ship Eagle S after it dragged its anchor to disrupt electricity supplies between Nato allies Finland and neighbouring Estonia.
It is the first time that a commercial ship suspected of sabotage has been taken into custody by authorities.
Sources have told maritime publication Lloyd’s List that the vessel - part of a shadow fleet used to bypass sanctions against Russia - was bristling with surveillance equipment along with laptops which would not normally be found on an oil tanker.
The equipment was carried in “huge portable suitcases” and sucked so much power from its generators that it led to repeated blackouts.

Portable suitcases not dropped into the water as soon as they saw the patrolboats arrive, via radar. Neither the lists with what they were monitoring.
Equipment still tuned to Nato frequencies.
Man, not only the OP planner was in an alcohol stupor, all the operations guys on board of the vessel were as well!
