MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): A China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel tailed two ships hired by a Philippine-based firm to do a seismic survey in the West Philippine Sea earlier this month, Vietnamese maritime observer Duan Dang wrote last week in his newsletter South China Sea Brief.
Ship tracking data suggested that CCG vessel 4201 shadowed survey ship Geo Coral and its support vessel Mariska G in northwest Palawan where Service Contract (SC) 75 is located.
