The world's largest coast guard ship has been parked within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone for over a month.
The Philippines is monitoring the largest coast guard ship in the world, a 541-foot China Coast Guard vessel 5901 nicknamed the 'Monster,' which has been occupying a contested South China Sea feature in what analysts say is a show of force to back Beijing's sweeping claims.
'Though it went 'dark' on its automatic information system broadcasts on 31 July, overhead imagery has shown it still there as a visible symbol of China's sovereignty claim over the feature,' Powell added.The U.N. has mandated vessels to broadcast their positions continuously via AIS to ensure shipping safety.Powell predicted the ship would leave for China soon because the country's Coast Guard vessels typically deploy for a month and a half at a time.
