#1 The vessel sailed from Russia & the captain is Russian

The ship is a bulk carrier registered in China with a crew of Chinese nationals. Last made call on 15 November in Ust-Luga in western Russia. I'm guessing the "Russian captain" was actually the harbor pilot and not the actual ship captain.

Oh ho! From the Gruaniad, we find:
Russian maritime pilot Alexander Stechentsev, who had boarded the ship to guide it out of port, told the Guardian there was nothing unusual about the vessel. The Ust-Luga port authority employee said he took the ship to a receiving buoy located 11 miles offshore before disembarking. He described the Yi Peng 3 vessel as “a standard 225-metre bulk carrier” with a crew of Chinese nationals.
