LONDON, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Gibraltar has released the
Iranian tanker Grace 1, according to the Gibraltar Chronicle.
"Authorities in Gibraltar have released the Iranian
supertanker Grace 1, which was seized on July 4 on suspicion it
was shipping 2.1 million barrels of crude oil to Syria in breach
of EU sanctions," the newspaper said.
The chief justice of Gibraltar's supreme court, Anthony
Dudley, said there was no U.S. application currently before the
court.
A spokesman for the Stena Impero tanker, seized by Iran last
month, said the situation remained the same with the Stena
Impero and that the company awaited further developments from
the United Kingdom and Iran.
