The Vietnam Coast Guard on Monday (18 January) said the patrol team of the Marine Police Zone Command Region 3 has detained vessel TG 90179 TS, a modified fishing boat for transporting 50,000 litres of undocumented diesel oil.
The patrol team said it was out on its inspection rounds on Sunday (17 January) at 5.15 am when they discovered the vessel behaving suspiciously about 40 nautical miles southwest from Con Dao.
Initial investigations revealed five crew members onboard and the Master was unable to present the necessary invoices proving the legality of the diesel oil.
Marine Police Zone Command Region 3 has detained the vessel and escorted it to Con Dao port in order for the case to be dealt with in accordance with Vietnamese law.
