The Iranian very large crude container ship Grace 1 was detained by Gibraltar after a 10-week voyage from Iran. Initially believed to be carrying fuel oil for Syria for an at-sea ship-to-ship transfer near Baniyas, the authorities stated the vessel is fully laden with 2.1 million barrels of light crude oil and that the captain and first mate had been arrested.
