Ship sanctioned by U.S. continues to use South Korean ports

Vessel arrived in Pyongtaek port on Monday, South Korea says it follows UN, not U.S. designations

A vessel previously sanctioned by the UN and still designated by the U.S. Treasury Department continues to make use of South Korean ports, the NK News vessel tracker shows.

The Belize-flagged cargo ship arrived in the South’s Pyongtaek port on Monday at 8.50AM. Satellite imagery indicates the 6800 tonne Sheng Da 8 (previously called the Jin Teng) is currently docked near concrete handling facilities owned by Hyundai.
