North Korean Kang Nam 5 stuck in Hong Kong

Equipment insufficient
Hong Kong officials detained the Kang Nam 5, a North Korean cargo ship, after it arrived empty on Oct. 25 from the Taiwanese port of Kaohsiung. Inspectors said the ship's lifesaving, communications and emergency lighting equipment were outdated or insufficient. The vessel's owner apparently had financial difficulties and couldn't fix the ship. here
