The positions of the two Greek tankers that have been seized by the Iranian authorities were announced by the website TankerTrackers.com.

The Greek tanker Prudent Warrior is anchored in the port of Bandar Abbas in Iran, while the Delta Poseidon is located north of the island of Larak, according to a post by TankerTrackers.com on Twitter.

It is recalled that the two tankers under the Greek flag, which came under the control of the Revolutionary Guards of Iran, were ordered to sail to Bandar Abbas on Sunday. Bandar Abbas is a port city and capital of Hormozgan Province on the south coast of Iran, in the Persian Gulf. The city is strategically located in the Strait of Hormuz and is the main base of the Iranian Navy.

Sailors in good health

Both the Prudent Warrior 150,000 dwt (built in 2017) and the Delta Poseidon 157,400 dwt (built in 2011) travel by the same means and are managed by their own crew.

All the sailors are in good health and are being treated well by the Revolutionary Guards of Iran, who boarded helicopters to board the two boats as they sailed in international waters off the coast of Iran on Friday, Tradewirnds reported.

"We are in regular contact with the captain," a director of Polembros Shipping, owner of Prudent Warrior, told TradeWinds. Twenty-three sailors aboard the ship - 15 Filipinos, seven Greeks and a Cypriot citizen.

The European Commission, France and Britain condemn the seizure by Iran of two Greek tankers in the Persian Gulf.

One of the most authoritative shipping magazines in the world, Norway's Tradewinds, reveals that four tankers of Greek shipowners are on the black list of the American authorities for transactions with Venezuela. "These companies are transporting oil that has actually been stolen from the people of Venezuela," US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement.
