@AgostoniPF @AliceBen_90 Very nice technique! but it occludes only large vessels and repositioning of the device is very risky

PRESS STATEMENT PRIVATE SECURITY CONTRACTORS INTERCEPT 800,000 LITRE CAPACITY VESSEL WITH STOLEN CRUDE OIL Following the receipt of credible intelligence, a Private Security Contractor engaged by NNPC Ltd., Messrs. Tantita Security Services, intercepted a suspicious Vessel with a Cargo of Crude oil on board on July 7, 2023. The Vessel, MT TURA II (IMO number: 6620462), owned by a Nigerian Registered Company, HOLAB MARITIME SERVICES LIMITED with Registration Number RC813311, was heading to Cameroun with the Cargo on board when it was apprehended at an offshore location (Latitude: 5.8197194477543235°, Longitude: 4.789002723991871°), with the Captain and Crew members on board. Preliminary investigations revealed that the crude oil cargo onboard was illegally sourced from a well jacket offshore Ondo State, Nigeria. There was no valid documentation for the Vessel or the Crude Oil Cargo onboard at the time of the arrest. Further investigation into the activities of the vessel at the NNPC Ltd. Command and Control Centre also revealed that the Vessel has been operating in stealth mode for the last twelve (12) years. The last reported location of the Vessel was Tin Can Port in July 2011. Details of this arrest and the outcomes of the investigations were escalated to the appropriate Government authorities, upon which it was concluded to destroy the Vessel to serve as a strong warning and deterrent to all those participating in such illegal activities to cease and desist. Destroying vessels involved in transporting stolen crude oil is of paramount importance as a strong deterrent. The illegal trade of stolen crude oil not only inflicts significant economic losses on Nigeria and legitimate stakeholders in the oil industry, but also perpetuates a cycle of corruption, environmental devastation, and social instability. NNPC Ltd. assures Nigerians that we will sustain the momentum in the war against crude oil theft until it is brought to a halt. Garba Deen Muhammad Chief Corporate Communications Officer NNPC Ltd.

Philippine Coast Guard Takes Action Against Chinese Research Vessel Off the Coast of Ilocos Norte The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has deployed BRP Teresa Magbanua and a PCG aircraft to monitor, challenge, and escort the Chinese Research Vessel (CRV) Tan Suo 3 out of the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The vessel was detected entering the EEZ on May 1, 2025, approximately 92 nautical miles off the coast of Burgos, Ilocos Norte. This morning, upon the arrival of the PCG vessel at the location of the Chinese Research Vessel, the PCG aircraft launched from Laoag to support the maritime law enforcement operation, conducting maritime domain awareness (MDA) flight in the area. Both assets engaged in radio challenges, confirming that their operations within the Philippines’ EEZ align with the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and the 2016 Arbitral Award. The crew of the Chinese Research Vessel was promptly informed that they were operating within the Philippines' EEZ. Their irregular movements were deemed inconsistent with the freedom of navigation and indicative of marine scientific research activities, which violate the sovereign rights of the Philippines. They were instructed to cease their unlawful activities, clarify their intentions, and ensure continuous transit within the EEZ in compliance with both international and Philippine laws. During the operation, the PCG spotted a manned deep-sea submersible vessel fast approaching the Chinese Research Vessel, which was later retrieved by its crew. This submersible, known as the SHENHAI YONGSHI or Deep-Sea Warrior, is engineered for deep-sea exploration and scientific research, with the capability to dive to depths of 4,500 meters. In addition, a Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) was deployed to recover a yellow-colored unidentified piece of equipment, which may also be associated with marine scientific research activities. These actions of the CRV serves as clear evidence that the People's Republic of China are conducting illegal marine scientific research activities within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone, lacking the legal authority to undertake such activities in this area. The vigilant presence of the PCG vessel has effectively prevented the Chinese Research Vessel from continuing its unlawful activities within the Philippines' EEZ. The PCG Commandant, Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan, reaffirmed the PCG's commitment to enforcing maritime laws and ensuring the protection of Philippine sovereignty and sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea.

PCG Continues SAR Operation for Missing Fisherman Amid Illegal Presence of PRC Maritime Forces off Zambales’ Coast The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has been actively conducting a search and rescue (SAR) operation since January 8, 2026, to locate a fisherman reported missing from Subic, Zambales. Yesterday, during the operation, the PCG vessel BRP Cape San Agustin (MRRV-4408) challenged the unauthorized presence of a People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy vessel with bow number 627, which was illegally patrolling within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), approximately 42 nautical miles off the coast of Capones Island, Zambales. This afternoon, the PCG vessel also challenged the unlawful presence of China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel 3106, located approximately 73 nautical miles off the coast of Capones Island, Zambales. The PCG has issued a Notice to Mariners, advising transiting vessels to remain vigilant for the missing fisherman's boat. The vessel is named JONAMAE, featuring a sky-blue hull, an overall length of 5.81 meters, and registration number ZAM-014-2618. The PLA Navy vessel 627 is a Type 056A (Jiangdao II-class) corvette, optimized for anti-submarine warfare in littoral and green-water operations. It has a full-load displacement of approximately 1,500 tons and dimensions of about 90 meters in length and 11 meters in beam. CCG vessel 3106 is a Zhaotim-class cutter with a displacement of approximately 1,764 tons and a length of around 100–110 meters. It is equipped with a 76mm rapid-fire naval gun, secondary 30mm close-in weapon systems, heavy machine guns, high-pressure water cannons, and a helicopter deck for medium helicopters such as the Z-9. Despite adverse weather conditions and the illegal presence of maritime forces from the People's Republic of China, the PCG remains steadfast in its commitment to locating the missing fisherman and ensuring the safety of Filipino mariners. PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan emphasized: "Despite the size of the PCG vessels, our professional crew would always be willing to sacrifice their comfort and safety so that the Filipino fishermen are safe and secured." The PCG continues to conduct SAR operation and urges all vessels in the area to report any sightings of the missing boat to the nearest PCG station.
