Is there a way to figure out, what exercise/activity is currently going on here? @spectrecrouton.bsky.social @mrfrantarelli.bsky.social

As for the UID vessel:

It is possible that the vessel is the RZK CONSTANTA (IMO: 8711289)
The Sentinel-2 position technically aligns with the AIS track of the vessel
Unfortunately I still have to figure out where I am able to find timestamps on that tracker-site, so for now it's just position + AIS

SB-921 Evgeniy Churov just crossed Storebælt Bridge heading North.
P524 trailing behind, about to cross as well.

Move from D33 to D6 SOUTH happened around 02APR2025.

I expect the mission to looks similar to this.
Survey conducted around 12JUL2024.

Also remember: jack-up plattform ENSCO101 aka NEVSKAYA was towed to and moored at D33 on 23SEP2024.

Latest sat pictures suggest it was moved to D6 SOUTH now

Akademik Boris Petrov on its way to perform "comprehensive oceanological research of the areas of industrial infrastructure facilities of offshore oil production".

Currently visiting field D6 and probably later visiting D33 and possibly D41/D29.

Several other ships from the surrounding area like Gdansk port/anchorage experience heavy spoofing as well.

Seems like Pr. 23700 RFS VOEVODA (IMO: 1025978) has been experiencing interesting movements over the last days, while at or around Kaliningrad Anchorage.

That's a lot of red...

The Admiral Vladimirsky saga continues.

RMIK performed quite a hasty transit so far with reported speeds of up to the 16 - 20kts bracket.

He just (242205Z MAR 2025) send a TESAC report.
Position estimates to 43 34N 25 46W, which puts him about 0.59NM North of the Vodafone Apollo Submarine Cable.

Life boats could be just a nice orange paint, I concur.

I just had a look at the Scandinavian documentary from 2023 about RMIK and the actual heli port position.

Here is a screenshot of the area of the German rebroadcast.

Thank you for your insights and analysis

Based on FM 12-IX SYNOP/ FM 13-IX SHIP reports, RMIK indicated he was travelling NE after entering the North Sea.

THEORIES:
a) This could be just an operator mistake sending an incorrect 222XX group.
b) RMIK performed surveillance task x-ing NordLink, NorNed cable and Europipe II gas pipeline (6/X)

Could this be a side-looking sonar for oceanographic surv.? General info on equipment is quite limited too.

On his journey from Kronstadt to Baltyisk for a pitstop and then through Kattegat, Skagerrak, the North Sea and Dover Straight he has passed dozens of pipelines and underwater cables. (5/X)
March 19, 2025 at 10:08 PM
A.b.m. RMIK is currently sailing through Dover Straight and got a visit from a SkyNews helicopter this afternoon (besides military escorts)

The crane is still extended.
I tried to enhance the heli deck section and it seems like, there might be something attached at least since x-ing SB. (4/X)
March 19, 2025 at 10:08 PM
I have noticed differences in RMIK's antenna/radar constellation.

Most signifcant change:
1. The 2nd Main (Sensor) Mast has been removed.
2. Various Radoms have been altered.
3. Different rescue equipment.

THE ODD:
Something very uncommon I have noticed is the extended starboard crane. (3/X)
March 19, 2025 at 10:08 PM
GENERAL:
RMIK has been an expert at hiding from the ship spotters at SB bridge, aka passing the bridge at night or at low visibilty due to bad weather.

However, I've found a picture from 26JUN2023 of RMIK x-ing the bridge. (2/X)
March 19, 2025 at 10:08 PM
Honestly, we should rather look at this timeframe in my opinion

So nice to see the first Poseidon airborne.

From the other site.
Awesome to see, however there has to be a Catch-22 it feels
February 24, 2025 at 9:55 PM
Finnish Cable Layer Telepaatti (IMO: 7636341) was East of Gotland on the 19th February 2025 for some work.
The intersection should be C-Lion, Sweden-Latvia Cable and Nord Stream 1 + 2 pipeline

YAMAL KRECHET is PROB inbound Yamal LNG plant
January 28, 2025 at 8:12 PM
The 2nd vessel in question might be the YAMAL KRECHET.

AIS tracks of 50 LET POBEDY and YAMAL KRECHET overlap.

YAMAL KRECHET left Arkhangelsk acc. to its AIS track on 23rd Jan 2025.
