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.
This led to it being stopped for an inspection at 04:00 hrs.
The Vietnam Coast Guard said the three crew members on board could not produce invoices and documents proving the legal origin of the oil on board.
