An Indonesian court on Tuesday found two oil-tanker captains from China and Iran guilty of violating the Southeast Asian country’s navigational rules by carrying out an unauthorized ship-to-ship petroleum transfer in January, but suspended their one-year prison sentences.
Chen Yo Qun, captain of the Panama-flagged MT Freya, and Mehdi Monghasemjahromi, captain of the Iranian-flagged MT Horse, will not have to serve time in prison unless they commit a similar offense during the next two years, the Batam District Court ruled.
It also ordered Chen to pay a fine of 2 billion rupiah (U.S. $140,000) for dumping oil in Indonesia’s territorial waters.
