Ship tracking site Vesselfinder showed the Yi Peng 3 steaming north out of the strait on Saturday and Sweden’s coast guard confirmed that the vessel had lifted anchor.
“She has reported that she is heading for Egypt and Port Said,” Hanna Buhler, duty officer at the Swedish Coast Guard told AFP, adding that they would continue to monitor the ship.
On Thursday, authorities from Sweden, Germany and Finland were invited aboard for an investigation led by China.
A Danish representative also accompanied the group as Denmark had served a “facilitating role” by hosting meetings between the countries at the Danish foreign ministry earlier in the week, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen had said.
