The month-standing incident with the two Greek-flagged tankers, which were held hostage by the Iranian government, has ended in a positive manner. The Greek and Iranian governments came to an agreement the ships were released and began their voyage back to Greece. The two Greek ships had been boarded by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in international waters.

The two vessels are the “Delta Poseidon” of Delta Tankers by Diamantis Diamantis and the “Prudent Warrior” of Polembros by Spyros Polemis which were detained at the anchorage of the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas with a total crew initially of 49 sailors, of which 10 Greeks, one Cypriot and 38 Filipinos as of May 27, 2022.

The rappelling on Delta Poseidon had been made by helicopter from which seven armed men disembarked, while the disembarkation with seven armed men on board the Prudent Warrior was similar. The move was a retaliation by the Iranian government to Greece’s seizure, in the context of international sanctions against Russia, of the tanker “Lana” which as “Pegas” originally of Russian interests and was transporting Iranian oil and sailed in the Karystos anchorage due to mechanical failure last April.
