The Penang Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) on Thursday (22 August) said a Chinese-registered tanker was detained at approximately 15.4 nautical miles northwest off Muka Head, Penang.
State MMEA director Maritime Captain Razali Kasim said the 130.2 metre-long ship was detained at 12.50pm on 22 August.
The tanker was operated by 18 crew members, including the captain, who were all Chinese nationals, aged between 31 and 51 .All of them had valid identification documents.
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.
