In an official release, it said the vessel TG 90659 TS was discovered to be behaving suspiciously by patrol ship CSB 2004 at about 0920 am on Tuesday (7 April).
Initial investigations discovered five crew members and 50,000 litres of diesel oil on board. However, the Captain was unable to produce any invoices or documents explaining the origin of the oil, it said.
The detained vessel has been towed to Phu Quoc port for further investigations and legal action.
