Summary

Headline: China-affiliated ship HENG JI 168 sailed erratically in Baltic Sea, raising concerns

Short Summary: China-affiliated freighter HENG JI 168 exhibited abnormal navigation—including large course and speed instability—after leaving St Petersburg in late November, in the Baltic Sea, in the same area as a prior incident. Observers raise concerns of possible hybrid activity.

Description

A China-affiliated freighter, HENG JI 168, sailed erratically in the Baltic Sea after departing St Petersburg on November 22. The vessel had difficulties maintaining course and speed, at times coming to a stop, within the same area previously associated with another vessel, Yi Peng 3. Public discussion and shared maps highlight the irregular navigation, prompting speculation due to recent events involving Chinese ships in the region.

Quotes

"another China-affiliated ship sailed erratically through Baltic Sea last days. Freighter HENG JI 168 left St Petersburg Nov 22 and had large problems keeping speed and holding course. She also slowed down to a stop. All in roughly the same stretch as Yi Peng 3."

All in roughly the same stretch as Yi Peng 3.

Another boat I don't think is related but odd problem.

Probably not related but there's a lot of China-affiliated ships having erratic trackings now.
