Indonesia seizes Iran, Panama flagged oil tankers: coast guard
Indonesia has seized two oil tankers, including an Iranian-flagged ship laden with crude oil, the country’s coast guard told SP Global Platts on Jan. 25. The incident comes close on the heels of Iran detaining a South Korean tanker with Indonesian crew onboard.
The Iranian tanker is laden with around 280,000 mt of crude, while the other, a Panamian flagged ship is empty, the spokesperson for Indonesia’s Badan Keamanan Laut, or coast guard, Colonel Wisnu Pramandita said.
“Both tankers are being brought to Batam island. The crude oil will be our evidence,” Colonel Wisnu said.
