The South Korean foreign ministry believes that “numerous” sanctions-violating ships entered ROK ports since last August, lawmaker Shim Jae-cheol revealed on Wednesday, with the country's customs administration now reportedly investigating the cases.
The statement comes amid an investigation into how the then-Panama-registered Sky Angel and Sierra Leone-flagged Rich Glory ships were able to unload some 9000 tons of DPRK-produced coal at the South Korean ports of Incheon and Pohang in October last year.
