Ship arrested for illegal anchoring

The "Formosa 16", being moored on Kukup Anchorage 2,2 miles southwest of Tanjung Piai, was arrested by Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) on Oct 2, 2015, for illegal anchorage in Malaysian waters. The vessel wasn’t able to present any papers permitting Malaysia waters enter and anchorage, no dues were paid. Two crew members, presumably the master being one of them, were taken ashore to the police station. If found guilty, the perpetrator would be facing fine of up to $22300, or two years prison, or both.
