A lot of sweet words and promises and a little action and results since last summer till now.
considering the tanker capacity is only 300,000 metric tons if at the time of capture it was carrying 272,569 metric tons of light crude then it show the charge of illegal ship to ship transfer was fake , I see one or two ship being detained in Persian gulf soon .
do you expect they publish something else ?
Targeting oil and its products means targeting 40-60% of Iran's exports.No country can compete in current world with shady businesses in her 50% deals.Indonesia seizes Iranian-flagged tanker suspected of illegal oil transfer
Indonesia's coast guard said on Tuesday it seized an Iranian-flagged supertanker suspected of involvement in the illegal transshipment of crude oil, and vowed to toughen maritime patrols.
The MT Arman 114 was carrying 272,569 metric tons of light crude oil, valued at 4.6 trillion rupiah ($304 million), when it was seized last week, the Indonesian authorities said.
The Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) was suspected of transferring oil to another vessel without a permit on Friday, the Southeast Asian nation's maritime security agency said.
The vessel was captured after being spotted in Indonesia's North Natuna Sea, carrying out a ship-to-ship oil transfer with the Cameroon-flagged MT S Tinos, the agency's chief, Aan Kurnia, said.
"MT Arman was spoofing their automatic identification system (AIS) to show its position was in the Red Sea but in reality it is here," Aan told reporters.
"So it seems like they already had a malicious intent," Aan said, adding that the vessel also dumped oil into the ocean, in violation of Indonesia's environmental law.
Along with the Arman, authorities detained its Egyptian captain, 28 crew and 3 passengers, who were the family of a security officer on board, the agency said.
After the two supertankers attempted to escape, authorities focused their pursuit on Arman, assisted by Malaysian authorities as the vessel sailed into their waters, Aan said.
Aan vowed that Indonesia's coast guard, assisted by other authorities, would strengthen patrols in its waters. Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago, with about 17,000 islands.
"We have to be firm, tough," he said. "There has to be a deterrent effect so it will not happen again."
In 2021, Indonesia seized Iranian- and Panamanian-flagged vessels over similar accusations. The captains of the two vessels received two-year probation from an Indonesian court.

But why do this S2P transfer in Indonesian waters? And they said AIS was spoofed, which we know happens.
