The Vietnam Coast Guard on Thursday (24 October) night (8.30pm Vietnam time) found two vessels together in an alleged illegal oil transfer operation at the south western sea area, it said.
The Vietnamese ship was unidentified; however, the other vessel was confirmed to be the Mongolian-flagged oil tanker Oki Maru.
The 1,973 dwt oil tanker was transporting about 350,000 litres of diesel oil without legal proof, said the coast guard.
Following, the authority escorted the vessel back to a Coast Guard port in the region for further investigations and handling.
