Libya's navy has held a Nigerian-owned tanker on suspicion of fuel smuggling.
A navy spokesman told Reuters that the 1,700-dwt bunker vessel Lamar (built 1966), flagged in Togo, had been intercepted after being found in territorial waters without permission.
“The naval forces seized a Togo-flagged oil tanker in the territorial waters without permissions from the state of Libya. It has the name Lamar,” naval forces spokesman Ayoub Qassem said.
