06 Feb 2023

The Vietnam Coast Guard on Saturday (4 February) said it has seized three ships transporting about 200,000 litres of unknown origin diesel oil.

The Coast Guard Region 4 Command discovered the vessels bearing the number TG 93627 TS, BV 96789 TS, TG 90767 TS during a patrol at sea. 

The vessels displayed numerous suspicious signs, prompting the coast guard to board the vessels for inspection.

The vessel TG 93627 TS is transporting about 30,000 litres of diesel oil, BV 96789 TS transporting about 100,000 litres, and TG 90767 TS is transporting about 70,000 litres. All captains could not produce any invoices and documents to prove legal origin of the oil cargoes.

As such, the coast guard made records of administrative violations and guided the fishing vessels to the port of Squadron 421 in Nam Can district, Ca Mau province for further investigations and handling in accordance with the law.
