TAIPEI: Taiwan said on Sunday it had detained a Chinese boat suspected of illegally supplying fuel to fishing boats trespassing in Taiwanese waters, the coast guard said. The incident happened on Sunday off the northwest coast near the cities of Taoyuan and Hsinchu, south of the capital Taipei, the coast guard said.
The boat ignored repeated warnings and “zigzagged to flee before it was brought under control”. “The boat was an unregistered Chinese refuelling boat with its name painted over,” operating in Taiwan´s restricted waters, the coast guard said. “It had no name, no registered home port, and no ship certificate.”
