“On Friday morning, an oil tanker named Pearl G, carrying the flag of the African country of Togo... was seized by judicial order,” said the Guards´ statement. The vessel is “owned by an Iraqi resident of Dubai, United Arab Emirates”, and it was carrying 700,000 litres of fuel, the statement added.
