March 16 (UPI) North Korean shipping activity could be rising in March, and some vessels that turned off their trackers have switched them back on, according to a recent press report.
Data from maritime intelligence provider MarineTraffic showed as many as 13 North Korean ships had turned on their Automatic Identification System, or AIS, enabling the monitoring of vessels that previously may have gone undetected, Radio Free Asia s Korean service reported.
