Representatives of Greek shipowner Dileton Maritime say Saudi customs officials accused them of arms smuggling in order to retroactively justify an illegal confiscation of Dileton's Yemen-bound ship and its cargo.
They say the seizure at gunpoint of Dileton's 47,600-dwt MR product tanker Androussa (built 1995) a year ago in the Red Sea is part of a campaign of interference with merchant shipping.
