South Korea trawler in standoff

Three Japanese and four South Korean patrol boats remained locked in a standoff June 1 over a fishing boat that was allegedly engaged in poaching in Japanese waters the previous night.

The 77-ton Shinpung-ho was suspected of poaching in Japan's exclusive economic zone around midnight May 31, prompting the Japan Coast Guard to stop the vessel and board it for inspection.

But then the boat fled into South Korean waters with two Japanese guardsmen still on board until it was stopped by a South Korea Coast Guard ship.

After seeking help from its South Korean counterpart, the Japan Coast Guard brought the pair back safely early June 1. However, the two sides can't agree on which side should take charge of the probe into the incident.

The crew of the Shinpung-ho was quoted as denying any wrongdoing. (Kyodo)
