The Vietnam Coast Guard on Saturday (19 February) seized a wooden-hulled ship, KG 30107TS, carrying 27,000 litres of diesel oil for further investigation at the Vung Tau port, it said.
According to the authority, the ship was spotted about 35 nautical miles southwest of Hon Ong Island in the Kien Giang province when they discovered the vessel behaving suspiciously.
