A controversial Iranian tanker underway in the Mediterranean changed its stated destination in the night to Saturday from Greece to Turkey.
Automatic identification system (AIS) data from MarineTraffic indicate that the 300,600-dwt Adrian Darya 1 (built 1997), formerly the Grace 1, is heading towards the Turkish port of Mersin, where it is scheduled to arrive on 31 August.
The tanker last reported a position Saturday at 1139 (1039 GMT), just south of Sicily, at a speed of nearly 8 knots.
