MELAKA: The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) has foiled a tanker’s attempt to escape from detention by navigating the Straits of Malacca in a bid to dodge authorities.
MMEA Negri Sembilan/Melaka director Maritime Captain Haris Fadzillah Abdullah said the vessel was intercepted at 2.30am on Saturday (May 22), when spotted at the waters of Tanjung Tuan in Negri Sembilan. Preliminary investigations showed that the vessel registered in Vietnam was heading towards the north, he said.
He said they promptly acted to an alert from the Maritime Sea Surveillance System at 9.55pm on Friday (May 21) before intercepting the vessel registered as MT JW Jewel about 15 nautical miles from the Port Dickson coastline.

More broadly, the blockage creating a backlog of nearly 500 cargo ships interrupted $9.6 billion of trade each day. That totals approximately $67 billion, just slightly less than the Gross Domestic Product of Luxembourg, Bulgaria or Ghana. The effects on global suppl
