The owner of the Mu Du Bong, the North Korean vessel which will be scrapped by the Mexican government issued a statement heavily criticizing the move via the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Wednesday.
This ship ran aground in Mexico in mid-2014, but was impounded at the start of the following year by the Mexican authorities. The ship’s ownership company was sanctioned by the UN due to an earlier weapon smuggling case in Cuba.
