Floating Storage Unit Portovyy entered Danish territorial waters, while dropping of the pilot. RDN F362 Peter Willemoes close by, likely keeping an eye on for Russian frigate Admiral Kasatonov.

There is also a submarine, I guess it could be INS Drakon, based on @covertshores.bsky.social's drawings. Not sure of they are a part of the same thing. Likely just a coincidence.

Still struggling, weather likely getting better now, but it does not look like the tug is able to handle the large oil tanker that well.

Appears that the Anchor Handling Vessel turned Ocean-going Tug Boat is struggling with the strong currents off the coast of Jutland. At times, speeds are lower than 1 knot. Currents around a couple of knots.

She is being towed by anchor handling vessel "TIGER" (IMO: 9564841), which seems to have recently changed hands, from BAS Shipping (located in Alicante, Spain) to a company located in Istanbul, Turkey. Under her new identity, she made her way from Dover to pick up AGATE.

Sentinel-2 images of grounded, sinking and leaking oil tanker CAROLINE BEZENGI. No rescue efforts visible. Loaded at Novorossiysk, en route to India.

Appears to have recovered control of the vessel again

MV SOUTH STAR (briefly detained by IRINI), left La Goulette 24 hours ago. MarineTraffic now detected the switch to Equatorial Guinea flag on AIS. I suspect that there is a lag in MarineTraffic of 24h for flag changes - which means that switch would happen as she left detention.

As suggested by Sentinel-1 images: Sergey Balk is being towed by another tug. Photos by Anders Dyhrberg Bruun confirms this, as they cross the Great Belt Bridge. Towing vessel is SB-406.

Update: ONIKS has been "Not Under Command" and drifting for 12 hours so far. Moves at ~1 kn SSE (somewhat consistent with the forecasted currents in the area). www.dmi.dk/strom

Laden crude and oil products tanker ONIKS (IMO: 9439383), "not under command" in the North Sea, 48 NM from the Danish coastline. Recently started broadcasting Russian flag, after issues with operating with duplicate Cameroon MMSI. Suspected to be involved in STS operations off Kaliningrad.

... and maybe another escort seems to go through Øresund. Will come past Copenhagen in the coming hours 📸

Tug Sergey Balk transitting Danish Straits with curious AIS status: Aground. Operating closely (500 meters) near other similar sized object. NATO escorts typically are at 2 NM.

Inbound sketchy tanker: MALAK / SINTEZ (IMO: 9378632) Broadcasts AIS as "Comoros". Listed in IHS as "Russia". Listed in IHS as used to be "Comoros" false. Coming to the Baltic from Venezuela!
