Iranian government releases seized cargo ship

A boat that departed from the Marshall Islands was stopped by patrol boats on the 28th of April in the Straight of Hormuz and taken to Bandar Abbas. It was detained due to a dispute between the Danish company Maersk and a private Iranian firm. Maersk explained that the dispute dates back to 2005, when it delivered containers to Dubai and the cargo was disposed of by the UAE. The ship was supposed to get to Jebel Ali, in the UAE.
