The owner of the Swedish-owned tanker, which Iran owns in the Gulf, will be released.<\/p>\n

"We were informed this morning that the Stena Impero ship will be launched in a few hours," Erik Hanell, CEO of Stena Bulk, who owned the ship, told Swedish television SVT.<\/p>\n

Communication AFP<\/em>Stena Bulk spokesman Lena Alvling confirmed Hanell's remarks but said that after several hours the ship was still not released.<\/p>\n

"We have nothing new to see," she said.<\/p>\n

The ship was held at sea near Iran's Bandar Abbas south port.<\/p>\n

Hanell expressed caution about the release of the tanker.<\/p>\n

"We know that a political decision was made to release the ship," SVT said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to be able to leave in a few hours, but we don't want to do it for granted. "We want to sail ships in Iran's territorial waters."<\/p>\n

Iranian troops took control of Stena Impero in Britain on 19 July.<\/p>\n

Tehran claimed that the seizure denied the seizure after a British commando seized Iranian tanker through the waters of Gibraltar on 4 July.<\/p>\n

Gibraltar launched this ship, formerly known as Grace 1, on August 18, after receiving Iran's written assurance that it would not be heading to an EU sanctioned country from Iran.<\/p>\n

Tehran has not made a promise to the destination of a ship carrying 2.1 million barrels of oil, and it appears to have delivered the cargo to Syria.<\/p>\n

The European Union maintains embargoes against Syria in response to Bashar al-Assad's uprising and bloody crackdown on rebels.<\/p>\n

Stena Impero had 23 crew members. Seven of them were released on September 4.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n
