    BBC China nuclear-proliferation cargo investigation

    BBC China was intercepted and diverted for inspection after intelligence agencies suspected that cargo loaded in Dubai contained components for gas ultracentrifuges allegedly destined for Libya. The cargo was confiscated after inspection. Public accounts said the crew and shipping company were unaware of the alleged misdescription. The episode linked the chartered vessel to a major international nonproliferation investigation, although the available reference does not establish intentional wrongdoing by BBC Chartering.
