Iranian authorities on Wednesday released the Greek-flagged tankers Prudent Warrior’ and ‘Delta Poseidon’, allowing them to set sail for Piraeus, after months of negotiations, ANA reports.
The two tankers had been detained at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas since May 27, 2022. The two Greek ships had been boarded by the “Revolutionary Guards of Iran” in international waters.
The seizure of the two Greek tankers had been prompted by the confiscation of oil carried by the Iranian-flagged tanker “Lana” while it was anchored in the port of Piraeus, following a request for judicial assistance submitted to Greek authorities by the United States.
The tanker Lana has reportedly also left Piraeus port, bound for the port of Istanbul.
