“The tanker, with a dead weight of 5,136 tons, and its crew — one Greek and 13 Sri Lankans — were all safe,” Paddy O’Kennedy, a spokesman of the European Union Naval Force, said by telephone on Thursday. Arab News contacted some officials of the Jeddah-based International Bunkering Company (IBCO), which owns the tanker, but they declined to comment. IBCO has been working with their insurer, Saudi IACI Cooperative Insurance Company (SALAMA), to secure an early release of the bunker barge.
