V4RDE

For a thousand years, Norway lit watchfires when hostile ships approached. We still do. We are a norwegian intelligence company for contested waters!

Three sanctioned Russian cargo ships rounded Skagen on 8 November, probably accompanied through the Great Belt by a Russian corvette.

On 9 October, the Ya Qing Hai Yang, which was previously named Ocean 28, sailed into Norwegian waters. Four days later, the vessel sailed into the Andfjord, where it has been moored ever since, ship traffic data from V4rde, a maritime intelligence service, show. The Ya Qing Hai Yang (IMO 1021570) and Jian Yang Cheng He (IMO 9813137) outside the island of Andøya, northern Norway.

One day later, another heavy lift carrier arrived in the same fjord. The Jian Yang Cheng He (IMO: 9813137) had also sailed on the Northern Sea Route from the Chinese port of Zhuhai.

Danish warship P523 is following three Russian cargo vessels in the Baltic Sea:

LADY R · IMO 9161003
MAIA-1 · IMO 9358010
LADY D · IMO 9349289

GUR links LADY R and MAIA-1 to North Korean arms shipments to Russia and lists LADY D as a military cargo carrier.

For more than two weeks, the tanker PADRE (IMO 9116632) has been operating along the maritime boundary between Norway and Russia. The vessel has changed its name, flag, and ownership several times. It now sails under a Nicaraguan flag that is likely invalid.

Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) links the vessel’s former ownership and operating network to the transportation of Iranian oil and North Korean military equipment to Russia. In April 2026, a Dubai-based company was registered as the vessel’s new owner and commercial operator.

New names. New companies. New flags. Same IMO number.

Norwegian authorities have detained the Chinese heavy-lift vessel YA QING HAI YANG IMO 1021570 following an inspection in Andfjorden. Norwegian Maritime Authority found that the vessel lacked valid flag registration and the required certificates.

@auonsson @vitaberget Common for both HAV vessels are large AIS gaps in their timeline... Not happy with the ownership either.
