Oil tanker seized by Iran last year now heading for international waters
A Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker that was seized by Iran more than a year ago is headed for international waters, according to Refinitiv ship tracking data.
The Chevron-chartered Advantage Sweet was boarded by the Iranian military in the Gulf of Oman in April 2023 and its crude oil cargo confiscated and later transferred to an Iranian vessel.
In March, the US State Department called for the immediate release of the tanker after the semi-official Fars news agency reported Iran would unload about $50 million worth of crude from it.
