Iran Releases Seized US Cargo Ship

An informed source told IRNA on Thursday that the Iranian Ports and Shipping Organization will issue a statement in a matter of hours on the details of the ship's release.

On April 28, Iranian forces boarded the Maersk Tigris ship carrying the Marshall Islands flag in the Strait of Hormuz.
A cargo ship operated by the Maersk Line container shipping company, which is part of the Maersk Group headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, is seen in the file photo.

Iranian state TV reported that the crew members were from Bulgaria, Myanmar, Romania and Britain.

Hamid Reza Jahanian, the managing director of the Pars Talayieh oil products company, which had filed a lawsuit against the Maersk Line container shipping company, told Fars News Agency on May 2 that the reason behind the seizure was the damage inflicted upon Pars Talayieh by Maersk Line, which is part of the Maersk Group headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.
