TEHRAN, Sept 28 (NNN-IRNA) – The released British oil tanker, the Stena Impero, has left Iran’s Bandar Abbas port to international waters on Friday, the Ports and Shipping Office of Iran’s southern Hormozgan province announced.
“The captain and the crew of the ship have officially committed that they have no claims,” the statement by the Ports and Shipping Office was quoted as saying.
“Despite the release of the vessel, its dossier remains open in Iran’s judiciary, and investigations into its violations still continue,” it added.
Iran detained the Stena Impero on July 19, alleging that it had “violated” maritime regulations, while passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran had already released seven crew members of the oil tanker.– NNN-IRNA
