The Greek owner of a suezmax seized by Iranian forces last week has for the first time made indirect contact with the vessel’s seafarers.
All crew members on board the 158,600-dwt St Nikolas (ex-Suez Rajan, built 2011) are “safe … in good health” and “in good spirit”, Empire Navigation said.
The vessel remains incommunicado after the Iranian forces disabled its satellite communication system.
