Singapore: This was done even though United Nations Security Council resolutions prohibit such transactions.
The cargo officer, Jeremy Koh Renfeng, and two other Singaporean men then worked together to present a false narrative on the movement of the Singapore-registered MT Sea Tanker II by falsifying its logbooks, which were subsequently presented to the authorities.
The offences came to light when investigators checked Koh’s mobile phone after they received information about the unlawful transaction and found deleted images linked to it. According to images of items taken from Koh’s mobile phone, MT Sea Tanker II had transferred oil to a vessel called MT An San I – believed to be North Korean-flagged – in October 2018.
Some time between Nov 5 and Dec 6, 2018, Ong and Tan gave instructions to Koh, who was then on board the vessel, that the records in MT Sea Tanker II’s official logbook had to be rewritten.
