The outcome of the questioning will be submitted to the Office of the Union Attorney General for further action.

The vessel extends as 177.35 meters with a width of 27.91 meters weighing 26,510 tons.

A salvage company called Smith initially informed the Myanmar Port Authority that the vessel was not destined for Myanmar but was being towed to Bangladesh.

Moreover, the Singapore-based insurance company of the vessel First Capital will send a team of experts to Myanmar on Friday.
