British oil tanker seized by Iran reaches Dubai port
Dubai: Stena Impero, the British-flagged oil tanker seized by Iran in July, reached the Dubai port on early Saturday, as per ship-tracking websites and pool reporters.
The vessel, which was held off Bandar Abbas by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for over two months, had departed from the Iranian port on Friday and reached the coast off Dubai on the very next day, Voice of America reported.
Erik Hanell, the CEO of Stena Bulk, the Swedish firm that operates the vessel, had said that the crew members onboard the vessel are “safe and in high spirits” following their release by Iran.
