According to SYKE, the two incidents occurred in August and September, when <em>Aranda<\/em> was conducting research for the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute off the coast of Sweden. In both incidents, the Russian warship attempted to prohibit the research vessel from accessing a sampling location in international waters east of the Swedish island of Gotland.<\/p>\n<p>In the first incident on August 2, the Russian warship made radio contact with <em>Aranda<\/em> and urged it twice to change course. The <em>Aranda<\/em> initially obeyed the request, but at the second warning, the ship\u2019s crew replied that it would not deter and intended to stop at the research point as planned. At this time, the crew of the <em>Aranda<\/em> observed a submarine moving along the surface of the water.<\/p>\n<p>The second incident on September 2 saw a Russian helicopter approach <em>Aranda<\/em> several times. After this, a nearby Russian warship took a course directly towards the ship\u2019s stern, passing the boat in very close proximity. The <em>Aranda<\/em> maintained its course and speed throughout the incident. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uutiset reports on a Finnish marine research ship&#8217;s run-ins with the Russians in the Baltic Sea: The Russian Navy has twice interfered in the movements of the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) marine research vessel Aranda in international waters.
