> As mentioned elsewhere, there are between 100-200 cable breakages annually

World wide. A bit different from Baltic Sea only.



Sure, but if 100-200 happens globally, at least one of those are likely to have been in the Baltic Sea.


I meant to comment that I doubt the Baltic Sea sees on the order of 1% of world's total shipping tonnage, but actually it seems that is roughly the correct figure.

The Bornholm Cable seems to have been cut several times in the 2000s, but I can't find anything about any other breakages before 2022.
