The Vietnam Coast Guard on Thursday (29 December) said it arrested a fishing boat with the number TG 91387 TS at about 20 nautical miles north of Nam Du island.
A patrol boat belonging to the 4th Coast Guard Region Command discovered a fishing boat displaying several suspicious signs and ordered the fishing vessel to stop for administrative inspections.
An initial investigation found the ship, which had five members on board, to be transporting about 45,000 litres of diesel oil with no documents proving its legal origin.
As such, the authorities made a record of administrative violations and escorted the vessel to port of Squadron 401 in Phu Quoc city for further investigations and handling in accordance with the law.
