Table 2 (p. 34) of the UN Panel of Experts September 2023 report lists the vessel "Ryon Phung" and states is to be previously referenced in the March 2023 report. Because the reference in that report did not include an IMO nor any of the vessel aliases used in the September 2023 report, an IMO search on Equasis confirms the "Brilliant Profit" (S/2023/171, p. 255) to be a former name of the "Ryon Phung" and thus the reference in question. In Annex 33 (p. 199) of the UN Panel of Experts March 2024 Report, this vessel is erroneously referred to as the "Ron Phung".
