A cargo ship was spotted in the Yalta Bay, which in shape and behavior resembles the HengYang9 container ship, which has repeatedly violated sanctions.
A new ship has appeared in the Yalta Bay. There are reasons to believe that it may be the Chinese container ship HengYang9, which has previously called at Crimean ports, writes “Crimean Wind”.
The ship is currently awaiting permission to call at the port of temporarily occupied Sevastopol.
We will remind you that the HengYang9 container ship belongs to the Chinese company Guangxi Changhai Shipping and sails under the flag of Panama. Since the beginning of the year, the ship has called at least three times at occupied Sevastopol. The crew deliberately tried to hide the maneuvers by transmitting false coordinates and changing the route.
As USM reported, in Russia Zelenskyy imposed sanctions against 56 sea vessels involved in the theft of Ukrainian grain.
