Again, on the AdvanFort site:
From Oct. 19th press release. It's a bit strange, talking now about the "nebulous" nature of things:That tale—as told by others—appears to be critical to understanding the current situation involving the
MV OHIO.
The vessel, whose crew included eight Indians, was intercepted and detained by the Indian Coast Guard
east of Tuticorin on Saturday following an anonymous accusation that the OHIO illegally carried arms and ammunition, as well as had purchased 1,500 litres of diesel “illegally” with the help of a local shipping agent.
Unfortunately for private maritime security companies (PMSCs), as The Hindu just pointed out, the incident involving the MV OHIO “has exposed a ‘nebulous area’ in the legality of the rapidly growing
practice.”

What really happened? Is this a case where multiple points of view have validity because we are dealing with(sorry for this) uncharted legal and international norms waters?
Lawyers lurking and reading? Help out.
