It is recalled that the two tankers under the Greek flag, which came under the control of the Revolutionary Guards of Iran, were ordered to sail to Bandar Abbas on Sunday. Bandar Abbas is a port city and capital of Hormozgan Province on the south coast of Iran, in the Persian Gulf. The city is strategically located in the Strait of Hormuz and is the main base of the Iranian Navy.
Sailors in good health
Both the Prudent Warrior 150,000 dwt (built in 2017) and the Delta Poseidon 157,400 dwt (built in 2011) travel on their own means and are managed by their own crew.
All the sailors are in good health and are being treated well by the Revolutionary Guards of Iran, who boarded helicopters to board the two ships as they sailed in international waters off the coast of Iran on Friday, Tradewinds reported.
“We are in regular contact with the captain,” a director of Polembros Shipping, owner of Prudent Warrior, told TradeWinds. Twenty-three sailors aboard the ship – 15 Filipinos, seven Greeks and a Cypriot citizen.
