The Vietnam Coastguard on Wednesday (14 July) at about 5pm arrested a wooden hulled ship “KG 95945 TS” in the sea area at about 26 nautical miles northwest of Tho Chu Island.
At the time of inspection, there were four crew members on board.
Through the initial inspection, the ship was carrying about 50,000 litres of diesel oil but the captain and crew failed to present needed invoices and documents proving the origin of the mentioned goods.
