A tanker carrying 240,000 litres of high quality diesel worth about RM 500,000 was detained by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, MMEA in Kuala Terengganu yesterday. MMEA Eastern Region deputy director, Captain V. Pannir Selvan said the tanker, MT Aliya Sari was detained, with a crew of five Bangladeshis, who did not have passports, after anchoring off Pulau Duyong at 9.30 am yesterday. He added the tanker, believed to be on its way to Pulau Redang from Kuantan, had dubious documents for the diesel and had anchored without the permission from the Marine Department. The tanker and crew have been detained for further investigation under the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, the Customs Act and the Immigration Act. In November 2016, the same vessel was detained and its owner was fined RM 12,000 after pleading guilty for anchoring without permission.
