The International Chamber of Shipping has called for the immediate release of the Israeli-linked container ship seized by Iranian forces on Saturday.
The 15,000-teu MSC Aries (built 2020) was boarded 50 nautical miles (92 km) north-east of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.
The vessel is chartered to MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co and owned by an affiliate of London-headquartered Zodiac Maritime.
