KUALA LUMPUR, Jun 18 – The Missing tanker have been safely found by 22 MT Orkim Harmony crew members in the Vietnamese water. “The fuel-laden Malaysian tanker was detected by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) P-3 Orian aircraft yesterday around 3.45pm. Meanwhile, the Australian aircraft has been sighted a ship that believed to be MT Orkim Harmony about 210 nautical miles from north Pulau Redang,” said Naval Region 1 Commander, Rear Admiral Datuk Azhari Abdul Rashid.
“The ship’s chimney and its name sign had been repainted as a measure of camouflage.

Rescue operations are now being carried out by the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN),” he said.
