Denmark had earlier said it had a naval vessel next to a Chinese cargo ship, the Yi Peng 3, anchored in the Baltic between Sweden and
Denmark. The ship was shadowed after it passed both the cables around the time on Sunday and Monday that each was believed severed in a suspected malicious attack.
The Danish Defence command said: “The Danish Defence can confirm that we are present in the area near the Chinese ship Yi Peng 3. The Danish Defence currently has no further comments.”
According to Vesselfinder tracking data, the last time the cargo ship, which is owned by Ningbo Yipeng Shipping, a company registered in Ningbo, visited a port was on 15 November in Ust-Luga in western Russia, close to the border with
Estonia.
