NCRI – Hong Kong has seized an Iranian regime cargo vessel in the context of international sanctions against the regime, according to AFP news agency on Thursday.
“Authorities in the southern Chinese city detained the Decretive, a Maltese-flagged container vessel, on November 14 over a debt dispute with several European banks,” the report said.
“Hong Kong officials acted after moves by four banks, led by the German-based HSH Nordbank, over accusations of loan defaults totaling 268 million US dollars.”
The Iranian shipping firm is among the entities included in new US sanctions against Tehran announced this week, according to AFP.
