00:00Taiwan's Coast Guard has boarded a Mongolia-flagged cargo ship to investigate its unusual movements.
00:07Members of the public-monitoring open-source website Marine Traffic had pointed out that
00:11the ship was following an unusual route and reported it.
00:15The Coast Guard boarded the vessel off Taiwan's southwest coast but did not discover any suspicious
00:19equipment that could be used to cut undersea cables.
00:23This comes after another Chinese vessel severed an undersea communications cable off northern
00:27Taiwan early this month.
00:29The incident prompted authorities to step up surveillance around submarine cable sites.
