Monday, 31 December 2007
THE Indonesian-flag dry cargo ship Le Wing is in Galle naval base, Sri Lanka, after arousing the suspicions of the authorities that it might involved in supplying weapons to the rebel Tamil Tigers.
The ship does not appear in the Equasis database but is reported to be owned by a Singapore-based businessman. The 12 crew members, all Indonesians say the ship “ran out of fuel” and drifted for two weeks until the Sri Lankan Navy intercepted it and towed it to Galle.
The crew members have been taken off and one report says they have been handed over to the Indonesian embassy. According to the crew the ship was on passage from Mumbai to a Thai port with cargo machinery.
