Descriptions

The IMO number for this vessel is not clearly mentioned in the UN Panel of Experts reports. The IMO number was discovered by cross-referencing the vessel's information that is in the UN Panel of Experts reports with the data available on Equasis. According to Equasis, this vessel was broken up in October 2016. According to list entry #9 in Annex 5-2 (p. 101) of the UN Panel of Experts March 2018 report, the "Rung Ra 2" (IMO: 9020534) and "Ul Ji Bong" discharged coal at Kholmsk, Russia, in August 2017. Three saliences indicate that this is an error and "Ul Ji Bong" rather refers to another vessel, the "Ul Ji Bong 6" (IMO: 9114555). First, the date conflicts with the date on Equasis, when the "Ul Ji Bong" was broken up. Second, the text "[...] and Ul Ji Bong for. transshipment", with "Ul Ji Bong for." italicized, indicates a typing error. Third, the report often mentions the "Ul Ji Bong 6" together with the "Rung Ra 2" (IMO: 9020534) (see Paragraph 59 on p. 27; Table 12 on p. 28; Entry #4, #14, #15 and #21 in Annex 5-2 (pp. 100-102).
