Greek authorities confirmed on Tuesday the detention of a 19-year-old aframax as part of European Union sanctions against Russia over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The 115,500-dwt Pegas (built 2003) was arrested on the Greek island of Evia on 15 April, Greek coastguard officials told TradeWinds.
The coastguard did not specify the conditions under which the Pegas was detained. Greece’s state-run Athens News Agency reported that the ship had suffered an engine failure and was towed when inclement weather forced it to anchor at the port of Karystos.
