Eight vessels are held in South Korea as of Saturday for suspected violation of U.N. sanctions. Six have been detained as their allegations have been substantiated, while the other two, including the Katrin, are still under investigation.

In an annual report, a U.N. panel earlier said North Korea "continues to defy Security Council resolutions through a massive increase in illegal ship-to-ship transfers of petroleum products and coal."
