News North Korea may be modifying cargo vessels to smuggle oil: UN reportDPRK has been filling ballasts with oil instead of water in likely dangerous tactic, member state tells Panel of Experts  North Korea may be jerry-rigging cargo vessels to illegally transport refined petroleum, filling ballast tanks with oil instead of water and using concrete to steady ships in rough seas, according to a forthcoming U.N. Panel of Experts report.

The revelation may help explain relatively stable fuel prices in the DPRK despite fewer observed oil deliveries. © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
