A Gibraltar court has allowed the VLCC held since 4 July to sail, despite US objections that led to a brief delay.
According to the Gibraltar Chronicle, chief justice Anthony Dudley will release the 300,000-dwt Grace 1 (built 1997), over a last-minute push from the US Department of Justice to keep the ship held in the British overseas territory.
Dudley said there was no US application before the court.
