The most recent vessel seized, which has a for the most part Chinese and Burmese team, is a 5,100-ton oil transporter, South Korean news organization Yonhap detailed.

That ship entered Yeosu port in South Korea on 11 October to stack up with refined oil and left for Taiwan four days after the fact.
