The Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has called on the Iranian authorities to investigate the attack on the Singapore-flagged tanker Alpine Eternity last week in which the vessel was fired upon.

The Rickmers Group and Maersk Line have confirmed that the Maersk Tigris and its 24 crewmembers have been released by Iranian authorities.

The Maersk Tigris has been released according to a report from an Iranian news agency, however, Maersk Line says it is unable to confirm it.

A possible resolution to the seizure of the Maersk Tigris by Iran is looking closer as Maersk Line provides a letter of undertaking relating to the original 10-year old cargo case.

Maersk Line says it is dialogue with the Iranian courts over the Maersk Tigris which was seized over a week ago.

Up until a week ago it is hard to imagine that in the headquarters of Maersk Line in Copenhagen a 10-year old legal case in Iran over 10 containers shipped to Jebel Ali in 2005 was very high on the agenda. However, it certainly is now.

The Iranian claimant in the Maersk Tigris case warns vessel could be put for auction if compensation is not paid by Maersk Line, while the Danish company says it has still no received written confirmation of court rulings or ship arrest warrant.
