THE captain of the container ship with nine Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Terrex infantry carrier vehicles on board that were detained in Hong Kong in November was on Friday charged in court for failing to have the required licence.

Prosecutors allege that Pan Xuejun, a 39-year-old mainland Chinese national, imported the Singapore-made armoured vehicles on Nov 23 under shipping company APL to Hong Kong without the necessary import licence issued by the director-general of Trade and Industry.
