A UN-backed tribunal has ordered Nigeria to release a Swiss tanker, its crew and cargo detained there since January 2018.
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) voted 17 members to four to free ABC Maritime's 7,600-dwt San Padre Pio (built 2002), which had been accused by the Nigerian navy of entering its territorial waters to engage in illicit ship-to-ship transfers of gasoil.
