The Vietnam Coast Guard on Wednesday (19 April) said it arrested a ship with the number BV 96789 TS in the Southwest Sea.
It said a patrol boat belonging to the Coast Guard Region 4 Command discovered a fishing boat on 18 April at 7.30pm displaying several suspicious signs and ordered the fishing vessel to stop for administrative inspections.
An initial investigation found the ship, which had six crew members on board, to be transporting about 480,000 litres of diesel oil with no documents proving its legal origin.
As such, the authorities made a record of administrative violations and escorted the vessel to the port of Squadron 421 in Nam Can district, Ca Mau for further investigations and handling in accordance with the law.
