<p>The Government is aware of such reports and have raised concerns this year with
the Tanzanian Government about their shipping register. We continue to have discussions
with partner states, and the UN Panel of Experts on the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea (DPRK), regarding the misuse of country flags by ships connected to the DPRK.
We take such misuse seriously and urge all countries to abide by UN Security Council
resolutions. UN Security Council Resolution 2270 calls upon Member States to de-register
any vessel that is owned, operated or crewed by the DPRK, and not to register any
such vessels that have been de-registered by another Member State.</p>
