Singapore’s Police Coast Guard (PCG) has arrested eight crew members for their alleged involvement in an illegal marine gas oil (MGO) transfer between two tugboats in the nation’s coastal waters.
During a routine patrol on October 10, officers boarded a Singapore-registered tugboat and found signs of unauthorized fuel transfers. The inspection led to the interception of a foreign-flagged tugboat operating nearby, where additional evidence was discovered.
