The Vietnam Coast Guard on Sunday (26 May) said it arrested two ships with the numbers KG 95579 TS and KG 92976 TS about 130 nautical miles south-east of Hon Khoai island in Ca Mau province.
A patrol boat belonging to the Coast Guard Region 4 Command discovered the ships on 22 May and ordered the vessel to stop for administrative inspections.
An initial investigation found the ships to be transporting about 30,000 litres of diesel oil with no documents proving its legal origin.
According to the initial testimony of two captains, the oil was bought at sea without invoices and documents proving the legal origin of the diesel oil.
As such, the authorities made a record of administrative violations and escorted the vessels to the port of Squadron 422 port in Phu Quoc city, Kien Giang province, for further investigations and handling in accordance with the law.
