Two days after Swedish police and Chinese authorities boarded the Yi Peng 3, a 225-meter bulk carrier suspected of sabotaging undersea fiber optic cables in the Baltic Sea last month, the vessel restarted engines early Saturday morning and resumed transiting the Danish Straits.

Sal Mercogliano, a professor at Campbell University and the host of the What Is Going On With Shipping? show on YouTube, stated on X that Yi Peng "is underway and heading out of the Kattegat toward the North Sea toward the Suez." 

Data compiled by Bloomberg confirms Yi Peng has been underway since early Saturday morning.
