However, to us, it just makes a strange tale even stranger as Mr Oh tries to distance himself from his own comments.<BR/><BR/>We think it is an extremely fast back-pedal by the Chief Executive of the Korean Register of Shipping. Mr Oh is now saying that there was a misunderstanding regarding his statement that the Hebei Two were detained because they withheld information and tampered with evidence.<BR/><BR/>Mr Oh made the original comments in a Lloyd’s List article on Tuesday, March 24. Two days later, Thursday March 26, Mr Oh’s letter was published in Lloyd’s List, claiming that the comments were not his personal view.<BR/><BR/>The questions beg asking; if they weren’t his personal view then whose were they and why did he make them?<BR/><BR/>In his letter, Mr Oh explains that he only made the “comment in the overall context of explaining that there were a number of misconceptions surrounding this unfortunate case, particularly in Korea.”<BR/><BR/>Did Mr Oh think his serious allegations would help to clear misconceptions? We think he just created them.<BR/><BR/>Justice for The Hebei SpiritJustice for Hebei Spirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313442418900380466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909844599670843846.post-47242934930447187262009-03-27T01:31:00.000+09:002009-03-27T01:31:00.000+09:00This appears to be incorrect and has been correcte...This appears to be incorrect and has been corrected by a letter from the KR Chairman in today's Lloyd's List. It reads<BR/><BR/>Misunderstanding over comments on Hebei Two<BR/>Thursday 26 March 2009<BR/><BR/>From Oh Kong-gyun <BR/><BR/>SIR, The article “Treatment of Chawla and Chetan was regrettable”, published in Lloyd’s List (March 25, 2009) contains a statement I’d like to correct.<BR/><BR/>The article suggests that it was my view that the master and chief officer of the Hebei Spirit were jailed because they had been found guilty of manipulating information. I made this comment in the overall context of explaining that there were a number of misconceptions surrounding this unfortunate case, particularly in Korea. I was simply trying to relay these as I understood them and it was not my intention to state them as my personal view; they are not.<BR/><BR/>As an ex-seafarer, I sympathise deeply with the plight of the two officers and I have been doing all I can within Korean government and industry circles to ensure that all seafarers are treated fairly and that changes to relevant laws are made so that such a situation never occurs again. I apologise to the two gentlemen and their families if the article caused concern.<BR/><BR/>Oh Kong-gyunChairman and chief executiveKorean Register of ShippingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
