Surabaya, E Java (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian warship KRI Arun-903 of the Eastern Fleet has arrested a tramp ship belonging to a Chinese national in the Fak-Fak waters, Papua province, a navy spokesman said.
"The arrest of MV Fuyuan Yu F 80 was made recently in the Papua waters which is rich in tuna fish," Eastern Fleet Spokesman Lt Col. Toni Saiful said here on Thursday.
The 1,344 GT vessel was skippered by Cheng Kong Zhang and had served as a tramper to collect fish catch. It was reported to have the capacity of carry 1,000 tons of fish catch.
The arrest of the Chinese ship began when KRI Arun detected a ship with a foreign name and flag. Suspicious that something was wrong with the foreign vessel, KRI Arun intercepted and searched it, he said.
It turned out that the Chinese ship had no legal documents and the number of its 39 crew members (including the skipper) did not match the vessel`s manifest.
"The manifest mentioned only 18 people, while in fact there were 39, which is a violation of the law," he added.(*)
