That is the ship Ukrainian intelligence claims to be meant to transport weapons from Syria back to Russia, which had engine problems yesterday.

UPDATE: Apparently the ship was transporting port cranes and is directly owned by the Russian military. So there are pretty much two options. One is that those cranes were meant for a new military port in Libya or that the final destination was honest and the ship was indeed going to Vladivostok. That port has some serious problems handling North Korean weapon shipments right now.

Not just opened by their military, but also apparently explicitly under sanctions.
