Descriptions

In Annex 18 (p. 126) of the UN Panel of Experts February 2015 report, the Pi Ryu Gang is erroneously claimed to be a former name of the Hui Chon. In Table 6 (p. 47) of the UN Panel of Experts February 2016 report, the vessel is misspelled as "Kan Gye". This vessel was potentially recommended in the UN Panel of Experts February 2015 report. Paragraph 166 (p.64) states: " In accordance with paragraph 12 of resolution 2087 (2013) and paragraph 27 of resolution 2094 (2013), the Panel recommends that the Committee designate the entities and individuals that have worked on behalf of or at the direction of OMM and/or assisted the evasion of sanctions or violated the relevant resolutions". This vessel does not occur in Chapter XI. Recommendations but is listed in Annex 15 (p. 120) under "Ocean Maritime Management Company-associated vessels". However, the actual list of recommendations in Annex 34 (p. 225) is strictly confidential.
