Shoutout to the shadow fleet for stress-testing AIS by broadcasting the same MMSI from multiple ships. Glad to see they’re keeping the tradition alive: free, unscheduled pentests for the maritime world. Who needs QA when oil tankers do chaos engineering?

Anywho, the drone is a Globe ZERC:

- 25kg
- 3 meter wingspan
- BVLOS (likely runs of the phone network)
- fixed wing
- battery operated

Looks like Danish Police is starting to use drones for border enforcement.

Somehow I like that it says "POLITI" on the bottom, but unless it is glow-in-the dark, most people will end up calling the police about drone sightings :)

But, aesthetically, it looks like shit.

The Gambia flag has quite a few issues already - question is, are there anyone using the ambiguity to issue false registrations.

Will Gambia become the new Benin of false flags?

She started moving again, I guess this was weather avoidance

Either flying a flag from a country which does not have a ship registry or that they got kicked out of the flag state they claim to have

Min største anke er ligegyldige animationer. Men det er ca det.

I dont think we should do zero tolerance. But currently we have full tolerance, which makes it a bit hard to be credible.

Det er så vanvittigt.

Jeg har regnet lidt på det, det har kostet os ca. en million kr. om dagen i anskaffelse og drift, de år vi har haft systemet.

Then the passage is not innocent.

The goal is escalation, whether we participate or not (e.g. "Gerasimov doctrine").

I think we are better of that Russia is simply flagging these ships Russian, rather than then non-status that they have right now.

Want to get a certificate for Comoros, Benin or Malawi? Why not use the handy PDF Certificate Generator here: pdf.beninmaritime.co

Following the interception of BORACAY / PUSHPA, two websites pretending to be the Benin Maritime Administration got removed from the Benin TLD (.bj). This was the websites that the false certificates pointed to.

This looks to me a lot like a government intervention

Happy to see my work pays off.

UNCLOS + Copenhagen Convention - complex strait rules

But you could intercept at Anholt and Skagen. Pure national waters

Ja dem jeg har fået fra aktindsigt er falske eller allerede annulleret.

False flag should be enough (UNCLOS article 110), but international waters is considered so sacred, that people do not dare.

Plenty of national water in DK they pass through though.

And since publication, we are up to 61, with well known false-flagger “Marathon” entering Danish waters.
