North Korean ship obscured identity to evade sanctions: PoE

Vessel linked to arms smuggler broke maritime laws when sailing

A sanctioned North Korean vessel stopped broadcasting its unique identifier numbers in order to circumvent UN sanctions, according to a recently released report from the UN Panel of Experts (PoE).

The ship is one of eight formerly associated with Ocean Maritime Management (OMM) – a designated DPRK weapons smuggler – to have changed names, the report claims.
