The Negeri Melaka and Negeri Sembilan branches of Malaysia Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) on Saturday (22 May) successfully intercepted a Vietnam-registered oil tanker which left its detention position, it said.

The Maritime Director of Melaka and Negeri Sembilan, Kepten Maritime Haris Fadzillah bin Abdullah noted the MT JW Jewel was arrested as part of OP TANGKAR HARAM on March 27.

The vessel was caught leaving its position around 9.50 pm on 21 May, and the Maritime Surveillance System of Malaysia (SWASLA) later managed to re-detect the ship’s position 5 minutes after it was reported missing.

The JW Jewel was believed to be heading north in Tanjung Tuan, Negeri Sembilan.

Following that, a patrol boat of Melaka Maritime and Negeri Sembilan was mobilised to the location to intercept the ship; it successfully arrested JW Jewel around 2.30 am on 22 May at approximately 15 nautical miles from Port Dickson beach.

The Master and Chief Engineer of JW Jewel were arrested and brought to the Maritime Headquarters of Melaka & Negeri Sembilan for further investigation.

“[The] case [is being] investigated under the 1952 Trader’s Shipping Ordinance for sailing offences without authorities’ permission from the detention position during detention notice was issued to him [sic],” said Kepten Maritime Haris Fadzillah bin Abdullah.

Malaysia: MMEA detains tugboat with undocumented 10,000 litres of diesel in Kuala Langat

The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) on Friday (10 July) said it detained a tugboat  during an enforcement operation in Selangor waters. 

Selangor MMEA director Captain Abdul Muhaimin Muhammad Salleh said the vessel was detained at about 6.35am at about 4.7 nautical miles 0.1 nautical miles from the estuary of Sungai Langat, Kuala Langat. 

He said the initial inspection found that the vessel in question was operated by a 44-year-old skipper along with a 23-year-old crew member, both Indonesian nationals. 

Further inspection found that the vessel did not have a mandatory insurance coverage, including the Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims (LLMC).

“Inspection also found 10,000 litres of diesel and MYR 5,000 in cash on the vessel,” he said. 

“The skipper also failed to present any document or permit authorising the transport of the diesel fuel, raising suspicions regarding the ownership of the controlled items.”

The tugboat and both crew members were brought to the Pulau Indah Marine Police Force jetty before they were handed over to the Selangor MMEA for further action. 

He added that the case is being investigated under the Immigration Act 1959/63, the Control of Supplies Act 1961, and the Merchant Shipping Ordinance (MSO) 1952.
