Korea reportedly arrests shipyard worker from China
Agence France-Presse reports prosecutors in South Korea say a Chinese inspector sent by the American Bureau of Shipping to a South Korean shipyard has been arrested for allegedly stealing technology.
An ABS spokesman said the classification society is 'cooperating fully with Korean authorities' but had no further comment.
The French news service said a 35-year-old unidentified man was arrested on June 27 and indicted for stealing technology to manufacture oil drilling ships and platforms.
AFP said ABS, at the request of a Chinese state shipping company, sent the man last September to supervise the building of a ship at an undisclosed yard.
