The Greek-flagged ships "Prudent Warrior" and "Delta Poseidon" that had remained tied up since May 27, 2022 left yesterday, after months of talks with Iran.

The final agreement was reached yesterday in Tehran in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Shipping and Island Policy Kostas Katsafados. On this occasion, the Minister of Shipping and Island Policy Yannis Plakiotakis stated:

"Today is a very pleasant day for our sailors, but also for Greece in general, since an unpleasant and particularly complex case came to an end, following systematic efforts by the Greek Government. I want to thank everyone who contributed to today's happy ending. From the first moment, the Greek Government made strenuous efforts to reach a happy ending. I would also like to warmly thank the sailors of the ships for the patience and trust they showed us during all the difficult days that have passed, but also the ship-owning companies of the two ships, for our cooperation. The Ministry of Shipping and Island Policy and the Coast Guard are and will always be at the side of our sailors, for any problem that may arise in every corner of the world. Today's positive development is yet another confirmation of our commitment to this goal and our constant effort to serve and protect the interests of Greek shipping and our sailors in the best possible way."
