Description
Crude oil is being transferred from the Iranian-flagged oil tanker Lana (R) (formerly named Pegas) to the Liberian-flagged oil tanker Ice Energy (L) off the shore of Karystos, on the Island of Evia. Greece will send Iranian oil from a seized Russian-flagged tanker to the United States at the request of the US judiciary, Greek port police said Wednesday, a decision that angered Tehran. Last month the Greek authorities seized the Pegas, which was said to have been heading to the Marmara terminal in Turkey. The authorities seized the ship in accordance with EU sanctions introduced after Russia invaded Ukraine in February. IMAGES
