The
Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) reached an agreement with Iran
to have the crewmembers released, with the caveat that the Philippine
government sends other crewmembers to take their place.
Eduardo
Jose de Vega, undersecretary for the department of foreign affairs of the
Philippines, said that non-Filipinos
will replace the crew and that the ship will likely remain in Iranian custody
until an Iranian court decides what to do with it.
In
September last year, Empire Navigation admitted to violating US sanctions by
shipping a cargo of Iranian crude oil aboard the same ship.
In April last year, Washington seized
the tanker after it was caught transferring oil off Singapore.
Following the arrest, Empire Navigation
entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the US, pledging to
transport some 800,000 barrels of illicit Iranian crude to the US for seizure
and forfeiture. Iran responded to the arrest by seizing two tankers in the
Strait of Hormuz within the space of a week.
