The escape of the Elektron and the subsequent hunt by the Norwegian Coast Guard made it to the international headlines. The Elektron managed to make it into Russian territorial waters, and Norwegian authorities have since been planning court measures against the vessel and its owners. After a more than one year postponement, the court case was to start on 10 April. However, the Russian trawler owner did not turn up. Norwegian authorities have concluded that the company which up to now has owned the Electron is being dissolved, and have therefore decided to cancel the case. The Elektron has now renamed into Peresvet. The new owner of the vessel is the MRF Joint Stock Co in Murmansk
