So it’s all are official, because the papers officially completed,” Anwar said in a visit to the Port of Belawan.

Related to the possible errors of perception on the part of the Philippine customs, according to him, it could been happen.

If not reported it to be a problem,” he said.

However, Anwar continued, officially PT Pindad has exported to the specified requirements. However, if change of weapons was carried out in the sea, possibly it could just happen. “If there are changes in the sea we do not know, because we control only up to the Tanjung Priok,” he said.Earlier Philippine customs officials have detained a cargo ship “Capt. Ufuk” in Bataan, carrying about 50 guns, on Thursday night (20 / 8). When checked, found rifles made by Pindad type SS1-V1, several other military equipment, and long guns branded Israel “Galil”, similar types of assault weapons that are accurate within a range of 300-800 meters.

In addition to weapons, Filipino officials are also holding 14 crew members from Georgia and Africa. The ship departs from Port of Georgia and stopped in Indonesia to take the goods, before sailing to the Port of Mariveles.

The Indonesian government is still awaiting confirmation from the Philippine government related to the findings of this Panamanian flagged ship.
