The saga of the Arctic Sea has been brought to an end after she was located at 2100 GMT about 483 km off the coast of Cape Verde islands. The Maltese registered vessel, which was carrying an estimated $1.16 million worth of timber from Finland to Algeria, disappeared off the communications map on July 28th.  The vessel and her 15 crew members were supposed to call on the Port of Bejaia Algeria on August 4th but failed to reach port, sparking fears of a hijack. The Russian navy was sent to locate the vessel, and according to our sources Malta has joined forces with Swedish and Finnish authorities in the investigations.   

After tracing the vessel, the crew was transferred aboard a Russian anti sub-marine ship for interrogations into the disappearance of the vessel.
