Ships sanctioned by U.S. for N. Korea ties change names, flags

The ships were removed from the UN's sanctions list, but are still designated by the U.S. Treasury

Two vessels which were formerly sanctioned by the UN, and still designated by the U.S. have changed their names and flags, recent inspection records show.

Both the Equasis Maritime Database and records collected by Port State Control (PSC) authorities indicate the two ships, previously called the Jin Teng and Jin Tai, are now called the Sheng Da 8 and Sheng Da 6.
