Navy nabs vessel carrying logs to Malaysia illegally

Surabaya, E Java (ANTARA News) - Personnel from the Indonesian naval
base at Tarakan intercepted a motor vessel named `Uru Cina` which was
carrying 30 cubic meters of logs to Tawao, Malaysia illegally,
spokesman of the Navy`s Eastern Fleet Command, Lt Col Toni Syaiful,
said here on Wednesday.

He said the vessel was stopped and detained in Batu Putih waters, Berau
district, East Kalimantan, because its skipper failed to produce the
required documents.

The boat`s skipper, Irwan, could not show the required permit to sail
and bill of lading for 150 logs his boat was transporting to Tawao,
Toni said.(*) END
