Any flag? Any writing?
I watched it for 5 minutes through binoculars, but couldn’t see a name or flag. It was quite large, like a cargo barge, square shaped in front and sides, an open area on the back with a wide beam support structure like a movable crane might use. It was painted white and seemed to move under its own power (no tug).
I have seen inter island container ships off HPP in the past, and that would be my best guess. Very nondescript and plain. If it’s a Chinese spy ship, they picked the wrong stretch of ocean, as I haven’t seen any other large ships recently other than the cruise ships.
