Russiske forskningsskib Akademik Ioffe langs den polske Østersøkyst

I begyndelsen af februar 2026 sejlede det russiske oceanografiske forskningsskib Akademik Ioffe (IMO 8507731) langs Polens Østersøkyst efter at have passeret de danske stræder, hvor tyske og danske skibe efter sigende havde overvåget dets bevægelser. Ifølge polske rapporter sejlede skibet med usædvanligt lave hastigheder, til tider omkring seks knob, og forsvandt midlertidigt fra offentlig AIS-sporing i flere timer nær Darłowo, før dets signal dukkede op igen. Skibet fortsatte efterfølgende mod Kaliningrad. PISM inkluderede episoden i sin vurdering af mistænkelig russisk maritim aktivitet og beskrev det sandsynlige formål som rekognoscering langs den polske kyst. Skibets videnskabelige udstyr og usædvanlige bevægelsesmønster vakte bekymring om potentielle efterretningsindsamlingsevner. Offentlige rapporter fastslog dog ikke, at det krænkede polsk territorialfarvand, undersøgte specifik undervandsinfrastruktur eller udførte sabotage.

In early February 2026, the Russian oceanographic research vessel Akademik Ioffe (IMO 8507731) travelled along Poland’s Baltic coast after passing through the Danish straits, where German and Danish vessels had reportedly monitored its movements. According to Polish reporting, the ship proceeded at unusually low speeds, sometimes approximately six knots, and temporarily disappeared from public AIS tracking for several hours near Darłowo before its signal reappeared. The vessel subsequently continued toward Kaliningrad. PISM included the episode in its assessment of suspicious Russian maritime activity, describing the probable purpose as reconnaissance along the Polish coast. The vessel’s scientific equipment and unusual movement pattern raised concerns about potential intelligence-gathering capabilities. However, public reporting did not establish that it violated Polish territorial waters, surveyed specific underwater infrastructure, or carried out sabotage.
