Near miss in incident between Arrenlander and Brymmish patrol vessels
Iohannes Leoninga


Two patrol boats of the Arrenlander Royal Coast Guard and the Brymmish Navy nearly collided following an hour-long standoff between the two vessels. The Royal Coast Guard stated that at approximately 5:35 a.m., they received a call for assistance from an Arrenlander fishing vessel which reported being "harassed" by a Brymmish vessel. When they dispatched a patrol boat to the scene, the Coast Guard said, it spotted a Brymmish Navy patrol boat about 200 feet from the fishing vessel. A standoff occurred, with both vessels refusing to leave the area at the demands of the other. A spokesman for the Brymmish Navy said that the Arrenlander fishing vessel was violating Brymme's exclusive economic zone. Although neither side has clearly explained how, the two patrol boats nearly collided. Eventually, the fishing vessel moved to other waters.

This latest incident between the two island countries is likely to only increase already high tensions following the terrorist bombing in St. Guthbert, Carruth. The Royal Navy has announced that they will take over coastal patrols from the Royal Coast Guard around the island of Flimingberg, a small island between Arrenland and Brymme, following this incident.
