The anonymous source said that it is likely non-nuclear S-300 and X-55 missiles were illegally concealed on the 4,000-ton Arctic Sea alongside its official cargo of timber.

He suspected the cargo was loaded in the Baltic Sea at night after the Maltese-registered ship left Finland with its timber on board.

My Comment: A number of sailors aboard the Arctic Sea have been arrested by Russian authorities. I would assume that if weapons were on board, this will become known when they have their trial. If the trial is held in secret .... I would then take this as confirmation that weapons were on board.
