Scorpio Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On November 5, 2023, the Malaysian Maritime Department detained two tankers, the product tanker 'Tuah Sejagat' (IMO: 8619132) and the 'Scorpio', roughly 0.7 nautical miles southwest of Kapar in Selangor. The incident unfolded as 'Tuah Sejagat,' with its crew of six, was engaged in the transfer of 400,000 litres of diesel to the 'Scorpio.' In the wake of this operation, two crew members from each vessel were taken into custody and transported to the Selangor State Maritime Office for further investigation. Local authorities are currently probing the situation due to the absence of a required permit for the ship-to-ship oil transfer, raising concerns about maritime safety and regulatory compliance in the region.
