DescriptionTanker ship involved in deliveries of refined petroleum or related products to the DPRK, including via multiple ship-to-ship transfers. Engaged in identity swap/fraud in tandem with the "Mouson 328" (IMO: 9021198) in 2019 and 2020. Occasionally transmitting on fraudulent identifiers as the "M0uson" and "F.Lonline". Spoofed the MMSI of the Belize-registered tanker "Leo" (IMO: 9066473) in September 2021. In late 2021, the "New Konk" and "Unica" (IMO: 8514306), sailing under fraudulent identities, transmitted in the vicinity of the motherships "Xiang Shun" (IMO: 9153800) and "Hong Hu" (IMO: 9125293) before AIS transmission was lost for all vessels. The New Konk and Unica resumed AIS transmission when sailing towards the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea EEZ before losing transmission for a period of time. Previously used the fraudulent identifiers "M0uson" (MMSI: 511444000), "F.Lonline (MMSI: 312162000), "Lifan" (MMSI: 312360680. 457400047), "Haizhou 168" (MMSI: 667001397) and "Fu Yuan Yu 98" (MMSI: 667001800). A UN Member State reported the vessel as non-operational in the second and third quarters of 2023, possibly due to engine issues.[sources]
