FLEXI 2: Anomalous Coastal Navigation Raises Questions The Iranian-flagged container ship FLEXI 2 (IMO 9246322), departing from Bronka, Russia, is reportedly bound for the Suez Canal. However, its voyage across European waters presents a pattern that warrants closer scrutiny. After navigating near the UK and Portuguese coasts, the vessel continued along the North African maritime corridor, with its movements near Algeria and the Sicilian coastline standing out as particularly noteworthy. Its reported coastal track raises questions about the rationale behind its route, especially where navigation appears unusually close to sensitive maritime areas. Although its AIS destination remains Suez, the vessel's movements invite further examination and comparison with patterns sometimes associated with intelligence-gathering ships. This alone, however, does not establish an intelligence mission or suspicious activity. Is the FLEXI 2 simply following an unconventional commercial route, or does its maritime track warrant closer investigation? Based on reported AIS data. Positions, routes and destinations should be independently verified.@key2med @SONARROW_OSINT @TiaFarris10 @TankerTrackers @seawaves_mag @KaptainLOMA @Rockhoppas @kattyfun1 @DonnetJules @Capt_Navy @charly0153 @UKForcesTracker @Unknwon_141 @Richard_AHolmes @NavyLookout @MrFrantarelli @InsiderGeo @GrangerE04117 @visionergeo

Two incidents. Three merchant ships. Two NATO coastlines. On October 5, ROYAD MAMMADOV — St. Kitts & Nevis flag — sank off Romania after a suspected drone strike. Just one day later, drones struck two more vessels in Bulgaria’s EEZ: ALFA WATAN (IMO 7510884, Togo flag), which sank, and ABLE (IMO 9001136, Palau flag), which caught fire. The perpetrators remain unidentified. But the geography is changing. From Romania to Bulgaria, attacks on civilian shipping are moving deeper into NATO’s maritime neighborhood — a worrying sign of an expanding and deteriorating Black Sea security crisis. militarnyi.com/en/news/unkno…
