Iranian and Panamanian tankers seized off Kalimantan

The country has seized an Iranian tanker and Panamanian vessel suspected of illegally transferring oil in the South-East Asian nation’s waters, authorities said.

The crude oil tankers – Iranian-flagged MT Horse and Panamanian-flagged MT Freya – were spotted on Sunday off Kalimantan, Indonesia’s section of Borneo island, and were later seized after the crew failed to respond to radio calls, authorities said.
