News Sanctioned N.Korean ship turned away from Hong KongHong Kong government spokesperson says UN resolution being followed
A sanctioned North Korea vessel was been blocked from entering Hong Kong on Wednesday data from Marine Traffic shows, in compliance with UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. The ship is just one in the latest of a series of reports that indicate the Chinese government is implementing sanctions outlined in the most recent UN resolution, which includes a list of 31 ships known to be associated with a previously designated shipping company. The Gold Star 3 arrived near Hong Kong on March 8, approached the port and did a quick u-turn the following day. It remained outside the port, before leaving © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
