This has happened before. See posts 77-79 in this thread.

 

QM2 Propulsion Issues?

 

I think the same thing is happening here. Tender 11 is probably on board QM2 but its AIS transmitter is turned on. Differences in the timings of the AIS signals as reported by marinetraffic probably account for it looking like Tender 11 is following QM2.
