Who called for cavalry? Nefrit is getting a Latvian Navy inspection by the looks of it. But both ships turned off their AIS 24 minutes ago. (I have sat access, coverage is good, other ships nearby get through even without sat.)
Russian conspicious supply ship Nefrit is continuing a slow steam along coasts of Baltic states. Slightly faster than previous 24h, but only at a fraction of normal speed.
Besides the Latvian navy inspection last evening a Swedish minesweeper passed within a km 01UTC.
Nefrit was also inspected by my favourite Baltic Sea ISR aircraft: Estonian 44 BLACK At noon UTC.
A hypothesis of mine was that Nefrit is towing something secret. Nopes. Found matching echo on Sentinel1 sat images from this morning, nothing behind her. Sentinel2 from today is cloudy, but there is a hit and nothing behind.
ASTROL 1 is a largely flat cargo ship with hatches that likely would serve well as drone pads.
She is a similar model to SCANLARK, recently apprehended by German authorities on drone suspicions and to PORT OLYA 4, drone import ship on Iran trade. Sunk by Ukraine.
