The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) detained cargo vessel MV Iseaco Fortune at approximately 14.5 nautical miles southwest of Sekinchan, Selangor on Wednesday (5 October) morning as part of Operation Ehsan to catch vessels illegally anchoring in state waters.

Selangor State Maritime Director Maritime Captain Siva Kumar a/l Vengadasalam said the vessel was detected through the Malaysian Maritime Surveillance System (SWASLA) radar at the Klang Area Command Center (ACC) after receiving information from the Selangor State Maritime Operations Center and the Central Region Marine Department.

Maritime patrol boats proceeded to Sekinchan waters for inspection and found the Panama-registered cargo vessel to be operated by 19 male Chinese crew members, including the Captain, aged between 26 and 52 years.

All of the ship’s crew members had valid identification documents; however, the Captain failed to submit anchoring permission documents to the Marine Department.

The case is being investigated under Section 491B(1)(L) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance 1952.

Two crew members from the cargo ship were taken to the Selangor State Maritime Headquarters for further investigation.

If convicted, a fine of not more than RM 100,000 or two years’ imprisonment, or both, can be imposed.

Singapore police arrest eight over alleged illegal MGO transaction off Tuas

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) on Thursday (13 August) said it has arrested eight men, aged between 25 and 54, for their suspected involvement in an illegal transaction of Marine Gas Oil (MGO).

On 13 August 2026 at about 1.05am, officers from the Police Coast Guard (PCG) conducted a check on a Singapore-registered tugboat in the waters off Tuas and discovered that eight crew members were possibly involved in the illegal transaction of MGO.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the crew members of the tugboats misappropriated MGO valued at about SGD 10,570 (USD 8,258), without their company’s knowledge,” SPF said in a statement.

“The MGO was sold illegally for their personal financial gain.”

The eight crew members will be charged in court on 14 August 2026 with the offence of theft by servant of property in possession of master under Section 381 of the Penal Code 1871 If convicted, they shall be punished with an imprisonment term that may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine.

“The Police take a serious view of illegal transaction of MGO in Singapore Territorial Waters and will continue to conduct enforcement and security checks to prevent, deter and detect such illicit activities in Singapore waters,” SPF added.
