Stena Bulk, the owner of the seized<\/a> tanker Stena Impero, has demanded access to the vessel in order to conduct a full assessment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company, and the vessel manager, the UK-based Northern Marine Management, said that they consider \u201cit imperative\u201d to be granted access to the tanker, that remains at anchor in Bandar Abbas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move comes on the back of a letter from Iranian authorities to the United Nations Security Council outlining alleged violations of international rules and regulations, including an unconfirmed collision<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe continue to await a response from Iranian authorities to our request,\u201d <\/em>Stena Bulk said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India, Russia and Philippines Embassy officials earlier attended the Stena Impero and have met with crew members from their respective countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFeedback from the officials is that the crew are in good health and they appreciated the interaction with their government representatives,\u201d <\/em>the ship owner informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 46,575 cbm Stena Impero was seized by Iran in what is perceived as a retaliatory measure after the UK detained a 300,000 dwt Iranian tanker<\/a> on suspicion it was carrying a shipment of crude oil to Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the Stena Impero seizure, the UK urged<\/a> British-flagged ships to avoid the Strait of Hormuz.
