The Vietnam Coast Guard on Friday (18 February) seized a tanker, TG 90678TS, carrying 110,000 litres of diesel oil for further investigation at the Vung Tau port, it said.
According to the authority, the tanker was spotted about 140 nautical miles southwest of Con Dao Islands and was observing suspicious activities and was stopped for an inspection at 1430 hrs on 15 February.
