A court in Nigeria has convicted a tanker vessel from Danish bunker company Monjasa, the MT Anuket Emerald, as well as two companies and 14 crew members of engaging in illegal bunker trading, report several Nigerian news media.

The tanker vessel was subsequently handed over to authorities, after which the vessel as well as two companies and 14 crew members from Russia, Ukraine and the Philippines were charged on four points in the case.
