South Korea announced Sunday that it has seized another ship suspected of violating U.N. sanctions by selling oil to North Korea at sea – this time a Panama-flagged one.
The announcement Sunday came just days after South Korea said it is holding the crew of a Hong Kong-flagged ship that allegedly handed over oil to a North Korean vessel in October.
The 5,100-ton ship, named the KOTI, is being held in the western port of Pyeongtaek-Dangjin, maritime officials told Yonhap News Agency on Sunday.
One official said the vessel has been blocked from departing the port since Dec. 21. The KOTI’s crew are mostly from China and Burma, other officials added, declining to elaborate further on an ongoing investigation.

Has the little fat boy been screaming “act of war” yet?
I can live with this.
Prayers for the protection of those going after this nutjob.
If that turkey isn’t screaming “act of war” I’d bet he’s screaming about something.
Can’t they stop them before unloading?
Spread the word. If you sell NK oil we will take your ship away for good. Every third one will we sink. We have 2 now.
Seems like selling the ship and using the money for further enforcement would make more sense.
Unless of course you meant sinking it with the violating crew still on board.
I like the way you think.
I say send them a few tankers of contaminated fuel.
Titanium infused aviation fuel does a nifty job on jet engines.
Or just let them pump off several thousand tons of raw sewage.....
North Korea is the monkey of the Chinese organ grinder.
The ship sold the oil? I doubt it.
Stupid.
If we start sinking their's, they will start sinking ours. And I don't mean just NK, I mean their allies, like Russia.
Good to see more than talk. I still want to know why (1) US dependents and citizens are not being brought home (mark my words, if hostilities do erupt, Trump will be directly and rightfully blamed for every civilian American death because they could have been brought home), and (2) why we have not shut down or throttled trade with China, Russia, and India, North Korea’s three largest trading partners.
That’s not a bad idea; I’m sure somebody is working on it.
Take the crews off the ships and sell the ships.
Bring it on.
