North Korean Blacklisted Ships Call Russia
Several sanctioned North Korean vessels owned by Ocean Maritime Management (OMM) have been seen using Russian ports. OMM was sanctioned for its involvement in smuggling weapons through the Panama Canal in 2013. AIS records indicate the M/V Hui Chon is a regular visitor of Russia’s Port Vanino and was inspected multiple times in other Russian ports in July. Earlier this month, the M/V Kang Gye was seen transiting back to North Korea after calling Port Nakhodka in Russia. The Hui Chon and Kang Gye are suspected of being two of several OMM-owned vessels that have changed their names and ceased transmitting their AIS positions.
