Chinese research vessel monitored during transit of US EEZ
In week 19, 2026, the U.S. Coast Guard monitored the 'Xue Long', which transited north through the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and over the U.S. extended continental shelf in the Bering Sea with a declared destination of the Arctic, and the 'Xue Long 2' (IMO: 9829241), another China-flagged research vessel transiting to the Arctic. The vessels were tracked transiting through the U.S. EEZ and over the U.S. extended continental shelf. In response, the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter 'Munro (WMSL 755)' executed Operation Frontier Sentinel to actively monitor the vessels during their northbound transit. The operation was designed to protect American sovereign rights, ensure consistency with international law, and position the Coast Guard to rapidly respond to any detected malign activity. While foreign vessels were permitted to operate within the U.S. EEZ and over the U.S. extended continental shelf in accordance with international law, the Coast Guard remained vigilant to ensure their activities comply with established international law. In particular, conducting marine scientific research within the U.S. EEZ and/or on the U.S. extended continental shelf would require advance permission from the United States and subsequent sharing of information collected. The Coast Guard has observed heightened activity in the U.S. Arctic and anticipates continued and increased presence in the region this summer.

Icebreaker collided with iceberg
On Jan 19, 2019, at 10.45 a.m. the "Xue Long" collided with an iceberg in the Amundsen Sea on the outskirts of the Antarctic continent. The icebreaker was on its 35th expedition to the Antarctic and was caught in a thick fog when the accident took place while traveling at a speed of about three knots. Damage was detected at the mast at the vessel's front and at part of its bulwark. Other equipment on board, including the power and the telecommunication systems, were working properly. The Ministry of Natural Resources organized repairs and will make follow-up scientific exploration plans. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=8Drds_pkx5M
Medevac off Nome
A small boat crew from the patrol boat "Alex Haley" safely medevaced a man suffering a broken arm from the "Xue Long" 15 nautical miles from Nome, Alaska, in the morning of Sep 23, 2017. US Coast Guard District 17 command center watchstanders received a relay notification from a Coast Guard liaison to China who reported a Chinese national aboard the "Xue Long" suffered a broken arm while conducting research in the Arctic Ocean. Watchstanders directed the "Xue Long" to travel 15 miles offshore from Nome, where the Coast Guard conducted the medevac. The smallboat crew embarked the man and transferred him to the "Alex Haley" for further transfer to Nome.
