Sweden Releases Chinese-Owned Tanker Sea Owl 1 After About Seven Months
Maritime media reported on October 14 that Sweden has released the Chinese-owned tanker Sea Owl 1. The 75,000-dwt vessel was boarded and detained on March 12 while inbound from Santos, Brazil, amid suspicions over its flag registration and seaworthiness. The ship is on the EU sanctions list but was not suspected of sanctions violations. The detention was lifted on October 12 after its registration in Equatorial Guinea was confirmed. The vessel remains at anchor off Trelleborg.
