A Greek-owned oil tanker manned by Filipino crewmen was harassed by a Chinese vessel that introduced itself as a "naval warship" near Scarborough (Panatag) Shoal, according to the oil tanker's captain.
Interviewed by GMA News, Captain Manolo Ebora said the Chinese crew asked him to change his route and avoid passing through Scarborough. That time, September 30, the Liberia-flagged oil tanker Green Aura was en route to Longkou, China, and had been at sea for four days.
Ebora said when they came within 12 nautical miles of Scarborough Shoal at around 7:30 p.m., their Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) detected Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessels nearby.
