Eunjung Cho

   On September 5, 2019, large bulk carrier ship Lao Chuan Zhang 717 was
   spotted near the port of Lianyungang in Jiangsu province in eastern
   China, about 620 kilometers southeast of Beijing.

   Satellite imagery appears to show the vessel preparing to conduct a
   ship-to-ship transfer with a North Korean vessel, the Jin Hung 9, next
   to another North Korean vessel, the Ever Glory.
