The Swedish Coast Guard has increased its surveillance of marine traffic. Among other things, this increased presence is intended to protect critical undersea infrastructure. The Swedish Coast Guard is cooperating closely with the Swedish Navy and other government agencies.
One of the Swedish Coast Guard’s main missions is to conduct maritime surveillance, monitor maritime environments and provide maritime information to relevant government agencies.
“The Swedish Coast Guard takes a very serious view of recent repeated damage to undersea infrastructure. In light of the recent incident in the Gulf of Finland on December 25, the Swedish Coast Guard has now reinforced its maritime surveillance. Among other things, this involves vessels and aircrafts,” says Daniel Stenling, Acting Head of the Operations Department at the Swedish Coast Guard.
The Swedish Coast Guard enjoys good cooperation with equivalent agencies in other countries.
