OFAC sanctioned Pingtan Marine's fishing boats by name in 2022. Six now broadcast a different hull number. Five switched within six hours of each other on 24-25 Aug, one of them tied up in Montevideo. The story, with the map: hullcipher.com/findings/2026-10-05-pingtan-new-numbers

FU YUAN YU 7602 became 7752 on her Montevideo berth, a minute after her last broadcast under the old name. Four sisters came out of the Min River near Fuzhou already renumbered. Is renumbering routine for Chinese distant-water fleets, or new for Pingtan?

Another Pingtan boat on a name OFAC doesn't list. We picked up FU YUAN YU 7617 (IMO 9896373) off Fujian at 8:36 PM EDT on 18 Oct, under the name OFAC lists. From 11:22 PM she was broadcasting FU YUAN YU 7577. VesselFinder already files her as 7577. hullcipher.com/vessel/9896373
