The fishing vessel CM-91872-TS was found carrying approximately 60,000 liters of diesel fuel.

At the time of questioning, the captain admitted that the ship was carrying approximately 60,000 liters of diesel fuel and could not produce invoices or documents proving the origin of the fuel; the crew members also lacked the required qualifications and professional certificates.
