SHIP DETAINED BY EU FORCES FOR APPARENT ATTEMPT TO CARRY MILITARY VEHICLES TO LIBYA

On 26 July, the gCaptain website reported that the UN Panel of Experts had alerted EU forces enforcing the UN sanctions on Libya of an apparent attempt by a ship, previously suspected of an earlier violation (under a different name and flag), to carry embargoed military goods to Libya.  The ship, flying the Equatorial Guinea flag, was stopped and inspected, found to be carrying dozens of military vehicles in violation of the UN arms embargo on Libya, and diverted to an EU port pending further action.
