LONDON, July 27 (Reuters) - The owners of Stena Impero, a
British-flagged oil tanker seized by Iran this month, said on
Saturday that Indian, Russian and Philippine embassy officials
met crew members from their respective countries and reported
that they were in good health.
"We hope this situation can be resolved swiftly and will
continue to hold an open dialogue with all involved governments
and authorities to secure the release of the crew and vessel,"
Stena Bulk and Northern Marine Management said in a statement.
The Stena Impero was detained by Iran on July 19 in apparent
retaliation for the British capture of an Iranian tanker two
weeks earlier.
