HongKong court says shipping firm, captain guilty over seizure of Singapore SAF Terrexes in 2016

HONG KONG - Singapore-based shipping firm APL and one of its captains were found guilty on Monday of importing nine Singapore Armed Forces armoured vehicles worth HK$136.6 million into Hong Kong without a proper licence nearly three years ago, local media reported.

Pan, the captain of the vessel belonging to APL, which was transporting the nine Singapore-made Terrex infantry carriers back to Singapore after a military exercise in Taiwan in November 2016, could also be jailed for up to seven years.The court heard that two Customs officers on a routine check that day saw a roofless container measuring 7.7m by 2.9m by 3.9m wrapped in a thick canvas cover with a metal chain and rope.

The prosecution said Customs officials checked their database, but the shipment documentation failed to mention the containers.
