State news agency Bernama, quoting Malaysia’s naval chief Admiral Abdul Aziz Jaafar, said the 7,301-dwt Orkim Harmony (built 2009) had been repainted and renamed.
“We have found the vessel and Malaysian military aircraft and Royal Australian Air Force aircraft are tailing it from the air,” Jaafar told Bernama.
The New Straits Times reported that a senior navy official who was directly involved in the search efforts said the ship was sighting by an Australian aircraft.
