There was a “confrontation” but these kinds of incidents happen on a regular basis between ships of different flags, at VERY busy shipping intersections close to national boudaries. Almost always they just puff their chests out, have a little chat on the radio and sort things out. However, this one is being exaggerated and blown out of all proportions for highly sinister political motives.
