Mutiny Behind Malaysian Tanker's Change of Course - Authorities

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 (Reuters) - An oil tanker which was first reported to have been hijacked and sailed into Indonesian waters, was likely taken over by its own crew due to a dispute with their employer, Malaysian authorities said on Wednesday.

Vier Harmoni, carrying 900,000 litres of diesel worth around 1.6 million ringgit ($390,000), went missing after leaving the Tanjung Pelepas port on the eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia on Tuesday before it was relocated in the waters off Batam, Indonesia.

Malaysian and Indonesian authorities had been conducting search operations in the area to locate the vessel.
