UK operator of seized Stena Impero says vessel in compliance with regulations

LONDON, July 19 (Reuters) - The British operator of an oil
tanker seized by armed guards in the Gulf said the vessel, the
Stena Impero, was in full compliance with all navigation and
international regulations.
The tanker was boarded by armed guards earlier on Friday.
Iran's state news agency IRNA quoted a military source as saying
the vessel had turned off its tracker, ignored warnings from the
Revolutionary Guards and was sailing in the wrong direction in a
shipping lane.
"There are 23 seafarers onboard of Indian, Russian, Latvian
and Filipino nationality," said Erik Hanell, President and Chief
Executive of the operator, Stena Bulk.
"There have been no reported injuries and the safety and
welfare of our crew remains our primary focus."
