The article, filed under espionage and titled 'Jagdfieber auf der Ostsee', says the HAV Dolphin remained nearly motionless in Kiel Bay for eight and a half days in early May. According to Süddeutsche Zeitung and NDR, officers from the Federal Police and Schleswig-Holstein water police checked the ship twice. The suspicion was that drones over sensitive Bundeswehr areas may have been controlled from onboard, with such aircraft reportedly sighted within the ship's range. The article frames the case in the context of Baltic Sea espionage concerns involving Russian crews, suspicious anchorages, military sites nearby, and coastal states increasingly searching vessels suspected of serving as drone bases.
