The tankers turned off their automatic identification systems to conceal their identities FMTNews

Panamanian-flagged MT Frea and Iranian-flagged MT Horse tankers are seen anchored together in Pontianak waters off Borneo island today.

A statement from coast guard spokesman Wisnu Pramandita said the tankers, seized in waters off Kalimantan province, were escorted to Batam island in Riau Island Province for further investigation. Iran, which has not commented on the seizure, has been accused of concealing the destination of its oil sales by disabling tracking systems on its tankers, making it difficult to assess how much crude Tehran exports as it seeks to counter US sanctions.
