GAS PACIFIC back spoofing in the Baltic.

This time in the anchorage, and not in Estonian waters.

Or, she started spoofing in Estonian waters, then moved to the anchorage.

See also recent coverage by Lloyds List who also picked up on this:

False flagged ships seem to have made a return to the Baltic, after a brief low (following the detention of Boracay and focus on the Benin flag).

False flagged "UNITY" entering the Baltic.

🚨🏴‍☠️ Uses an un-allocated MMSI Prefix (MID = 641, www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/ter...)

Cosplays as Zambia (which is MID = 678)

Sign #4: When you start digging, you find even more hosted on the same webserver:

zambmaritime.org

Sign #3: Using the same CMS for the sites above.
October 27, 2025 at 6:35 PM
Sign #2: Other suspicious maritime entities hosted on the same webserver, in this case: A fake insurance company.

Also: domains activated on the same day.

In this case: stpregistry.com

Looks like we continue to see visitors in the pocket of international waters between Denmark and Germany

Took the scenic route to the Baltic. I am starting to think they might be more scared of a player on the continent, than UK.

False flagged crude oil tanker "SUN" entering the Baltic in fog

The ship is masquerading as Timor-Leste (throws off many AIS watcher sites, due to the relatively new MMSI prefix).
