Chinese research vessels monitored during transit of US EEZ
In week 19, 2026, the U.S. Coast Guard monitored the Chinese research vessel 'Xue Long' (IMO: 8877899), 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'. 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.

The US Coast Guard was continuing its response to five Chinese research vessels operating in the U.S. Arctic, namely the 'Xue Long 2', 'Shen Hai Yi Hao', 'Zhong Shan Da Xue Ji Di', 'Ji Di' and 'Tan Suo San Hao'. The Coast Guard Arctic District has been monitoring activity and deployed a C-130J Hercules fixed wing aircraft from Air Station Kodiak on Aug 13 to query the vessels.

US Coast Guard responded to Chinese icebreaker in US Arctic
The U.S. Coast Guard detected and responded to the 'Xue Long 2' on the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) in the U.S. Arctic, approximately 290 NM north of Utqiagvik, Alaska, on July 25, 2025. A Coast Guard C-130J Hercules fixed wing aircraft from Air Station Kodiak responded to the Xue Long 2, an icebreaker operated by the Polar Research Institute of China and 130 NM inside the ECS boundary. The U.S. has exclusive rights to conserve and manage the living and non-living resources of its ECS. The C-130J aircraft was operating under Coast Guard Arctic District’s Operation Frontier Sentinel, which is designed to meet presence with presence in response to adversary activity in or near Alaskan waters.
