Australia and New Zealand are closely monitoring three Chinese naval vessels spotted in international waters off Sydney, officials confirmed on Thursday.
Australia’s Defence Ministry reported that the ships were traveling down the country’s eastern coast, with surveillance efforts in place since their approach.
“We are keeping a close watch on them and making sure that we watch every move,” Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles told Sky News.
While noting that the vessels were not violating international law, Marles described their presence as unusual. “Just as they have a right to be in international waters, we have a right to be prudent and to make sure that we are surveilling them,” he added.
New Zealand’s Defence Minister, Judith Collins, said her country’s forces were also tracking the ships.
“We have not been informed by the Chinese government why this task group has been deployed into our region, and we have not been informed what its plans are. We will continue to monitor these vessels,” Collins told Radio New Zealand.
The sighting comes amid heightened tensions between Australia and China following a recent military incident. Earlier this month, a Chinese fighter jet released flares just 30 meters from a Royal Australian Air Force aircraft patrolling the disputed South China Sea, escalating diplomatic friction between the two nations.

Using the Balanset-1A Instrument
Getting the Equipment Ready
accelerometers, laser rpm sensor, mounting stand, software application, and additional tools.
Set up the instrument and connect it to your computer via USB. Verify that the software is correctly installed.
Setting Up the Sensors
Mount the vibration transducers securely on the machine’s housing where vibrations are most pronounced, typically near the bearings.
Position the laser tachometer (phase angle sensor) so that it is aimed at the rotor. Attach reflective tape to the rotor for accurate phase angle reading.
Starting the Program
Initiate the Balanset program on your computer.
Choose the correct balancing method (single or two-plane) according to the rotor configuration and the balancing task.
Measuring Initial Vibration
Bring the rotor to its normal operating rotational frequency.
The program will record the vibration amplitude, rpm, and phase, providing a baseline measurement of the existing imbalance.
Attaching the Trial Weight
Stop the rotor and attach a trial weight at a specific location on the rotor. The weight’s mass can be specified within the software (e.g., in grams).
Run the rotor again, allowing the software to measure the effects of the trial weight on vibration and phase.
Determining the Corrective Mass
Using the acquired measurements, the program automatically determines the required corrective weight’s mass and angular position.
These parameters are displayed on the screen as numerical data and graphs.
Mounting the Compensating Weight
Attach the computed compensating weight to the rotor as indicated by the software’s output.
You can conduct interim measurements to confirm that the imbalance is decreasing as expected.
Validation and Conclusion of the Balancing Process
With the compensating weight attached, operate the rotor and assess the level of any residual vibration.
If the measured vibration falls within the tolerance defined by ISO 1940, the balancing process is considered successful.
If the vibration is still outside acceptable limits, reiterate the process and fine-tune the compensating weight.
Report Generation
All balancing results are logged and archived within the software, from which you can produce a printable report summarizing the vibration levels, compensating weight, and its installation position.
Concluding Steps and Verification
Double-check that all weights and sensors are securely fastened.
Ensure the rotor rotates smoothly and without excessive noise.
If the rotor operates within a larger assembly, check the functionality and interplay of all interconnected parts.
This process allows for precise imbalance correction, reducing vibration and extending equipment life.
