However, he said the captain failed to produce any anchoring permit while explaining that they were waiting for further instructions from the company.
The case is being investigated under Section 491B(1)(L) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance 1952, which carries a fine of not more than MYR 100,000 or a jail term of not more than two years, or both, for anchoring without permission.
