Starboard Maritime Intelligence has identified a false-flagged VLCC — NOVA (#IMO9283801) — transiting west through the Malacca Strait. It is now operating as ARROW (#IMO9212876), scrapped in 2018 as S MISTRAL. The stolen identity and AIS spoofing indicate sanctions evasion.

Very interesting to see this news. A positive sign that there is at least some room for cooperation on common maritime problems, like drug smuggling at sea.
