"Why would a shipment of anything which originated in Germany and was being carried to S. Korea on a British cargo ship, need to be anywhere near Kotka harbor in Finland?"

Funny how the correct question makes the correct explanation so easy.

A ship embarking Germany, sailing through Finish waters (northeast) is entering the Artic Sea with only one possible destination - Russia!

You guys on this website never cease to amaze me with the insight you do.

Pretty quick analysis. Frightening.

Very interesting. But these shipments go both ways, as a friend of mine was camping in Az near a rail line when in the wee hours in the morning a train went by with flatcar after flat car of tanks painted green with red stars. Not Abrams either.

The Finns probably seized the shipment at the request of the State Dept.
