Head of VIWA Hoang Hong Giang said that the administration received a report on June 20 about Hoang Tuan 28 carrying 1,777 tonnes of wood chips without covering its hold. The pile of wood chips towered 2.5m above the deck. The decision to allow Hoang Tuan 28 to carry cargo in Hai Phong Port's waters was a wrong one, VIWA said.

Giang from the Viet Nam Inland Waterway Administration said the order suspending the port authority officials aimed to examine and identify the violators involved in the case.
