Russian military sealift operation underway
A significant Russian military sealift operation is currently underway, involving the 'Lady R' (IMO: 9161003), 'Lady D' (IMO: 9349289) and 'Maia 1' (IMO: 9358010) A second cargo convoy has been tracked navigating in formation, recently crossing the southern Baltic Sea just north of the Polish coast. Following military loading activities at Baltiysk throughout late October, involving other vessels like the 'Ascalon' and 'Anastasiia', this group was now sailing outbound. The 'Lady R' has been operating with intermittent AIS signals. There were three highly probable destinations, Tobruk with an ETA as of Nov 8-9, 2026, Tartus or Lomé with an ETA as of Nov 13-14. On Nov 7 at 5.32 a.m., the convoy split south of Gedser, with the 'Lady R' and 'Maia 1' having aborted their transit through the Danish Straits. The ' Lady R' executed a circular U-turn maneuver in the Fehmarn Belt and was sailing eastbound at a reduced speed of just 3.4 knots. Also the 'Maia 1' turned back east. Both vessels were under joint US and EU sanctions, likely restricting their transit through European territorial waters and the Danish Straits. The Lady D' was meanwhile continuing its northbound trajectory. The vessel was under US sanctions only, lacking the EU restrictions that halted the rest of the convoy. A fourth, unacknowledged vessel sailing in the center of the convoy, a vessel of approximately 110 meters transmitting no AIS data. The signature was highly consistent with a Russian Navy frigate or corvette providing an armed, dark escort. The Danish patrol boats 'P 523' and 'P 524' conducted a tactical handover at 12:40 a.m. UTC to maintain continuous surface tracking. The 'P 524' was shadowing the northbound 'Lady D'. The German patrol ships 'Bamberg' and 'Neustadt' have taken over the eastbound tracking of the 'Lady R' and 'Maia 1' . The German patrol aircraft PCT636 also conducted close passes over the formation. Swedish Coast Guard aircraft were actively monitoring the operational area from above.

Allision in Venice
On March 29, 2021, at 10.20 a.m. the Togo flagged cargo m/v 'Baskop', enroute from Ortona and carrying a cargo of 6.200 tons of soda, was in collision with the 'Cileen M' in the Marghera port of Venice, where the letter had berthed at 8 a.m. enroute from Damietta. The accident happened during the maneuver to enter the port in the West-North industrial when she hit the 'Cileen M.' which was moored at CIAW 1 for the loading of 4.700 tons of sand. The 'Baskop', assisted by the tug 'Vanna C.', while approaching the berth, struck the port side stern of the moored ship with its starboard side stern. No injuries, no pollition reported. The Port Authority of Venice sent personnel to the site to conduct the firs investigations. In the days to come, further technical checks will be carried out by the personnel of the Port State Control Unit of the Venice Coast Guard to check the safety conditions of the ships involved before they may leave the port of Venice.
