An Iranian tanker at the centre of a confrontation between
Washington and Tehran is no longer recorded as heading for
Turkey, Refinitiv Eikon shipping data showed on Monday, having switched to a
Turkish destination at the weekend.
The vessel, fully laden with oil, had previously been heading to the port of Kalamata in southern Greece but Greece had said it would not offer any facilities to the tanker.
Shipping data on Saturday had then indicated the vessel was to dock at the southern Turkish port of Mersin on Aug. 31.
