Coastguards of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC) seized an fishing dhow under Indian flag which was smuggling 400,000 liters of gasoil bound to Somalia and confiscated the makeshift vessel’s cargo, said director of NIOPDC office in southeastern Chahbahar Port.

“An India dhow which had loaded about 400,000 liters of gasoil from a terminal in Hormozgan and was bound to Somalia was seized by the Coastguard Unit and confiscated,” Abdollah Giti-Manesh told Shana on Monday.

The confiscated fuel was transferred to a local oil storage facility, he added.
