Police in the northern city of Hai Phong have detained Vu Van The, 46, captain of a cargo ship, for illegally transporting titanium to China.
The man, a native of Hai Phong, had declared to customs that the Hai Dong 27 was carrying the metal to Quang Ninh Province but surreptitiously sailed to Qiongzhou Port in China instead where the titanium was unloaded.
