The tanker could have continued to damage underwater communications.

This was stated by Alexander Lott, an expert from the Centre for Maritime Law Studies in Norway, reports Yle.
He noted that the tanker could have continued to damage underwater communications if Finland had not stopped it.
“If the vessel had been allowed to proceed further, the Estlink 1 cable, connecting Finland and Estonia and located near the damaged C-Lion 1, would also have been at risk. And then the Balticconnector gas pipeline and many other underwater cables would have been in the way,” Lott explained.
