    Faroe Telecom has been looking for an available cable-ship to examine,
    and to repair, the Shefa 2 subsea fibre-optic telecommunications cable
    from Manse Bay in Orkney to Banff on the Scottish mainland.

    Any Russian-connected ships in the vicinity at the time?

    It could have been a trial run for wider operations against UK sea-bed
    internet and power cables.

    They know where they arerCathey just need to check out if there are any UK-specific conditions that might need to be taken into consideration.
