North Korean cargo ship returns to Chinese coal port

Vessel was linked to $250 million rice dispute, owned by North Korean "intelligence agencies"

Another North Korean vessel arrived at a Chinese bulk port Thursday, its third such visit in recent months to the same area which is equipped to handle sanctioned commodities like coal, the NK Pro ship tracker shows.

The visit represents another instance of DPRK ships calling in ports other than Dalian in recent weeks, marking a possible uptick in North Korean-flagged vessel traffic in the region.
