There is an RGG that calls a GENERIC merchant at the Mariveles dock that sits on a 138.65 heading, that if a storm came up, could "blow" out that far on a drift over time. I have looked at the Fast Hansa, and all looks well on it configuration, and in a mission, it does fine. There are at least 8 RGG that proceed between Mariveles and Corregidor, but mostly outbounds, and there is other traffic that travels through there on patrol, so it might have been a near-miss collision, but I cannot find any other reason as of yet, for it to be standing still. Some groups do come into the area and seemingly "pause" with very low speeds, and then leave, could it maybe have been doing that? Those instances are few and far between at Manila though, due to the traffic density in the small area...
