Philippine coast guard says China ship conducting illegal survey within EEZ

  • On May 1, 2025, the Philippines sent a coast guard ship and an aircraft to confront a Chinese research vessel operating within its exclusive economic zone near the Ilocos coast.
  • The deployment occurred after authorities detected a Chinese scientific survey ship operating without authorization approximately 92 nautical miles off the northern coast of Ilocos.
  • The Philippine Coast Guard conducted a maritime law enforcement operation during which they observed a Chinese vessel retrieving a crewed underwater exploration vehicle called the Shenhai Yongshi, utilized for scientific research in deep ocean environments.
  • The PCG stated these actions violated Philippine sovereign rights, describing the Chinese vessel's movements as "inconsistent with the freedom of navigation" and constituting illegal research without legal authority.
  • The operation stopped the Chinese ship from continuing the activities, underscoring ongoing maritime tensions and challenges to the Philippines' sovereign rights within its EEZ.
