Stena Bulk, the owners of the seized British-flagged Stena Impero tanker, released a statement saying the crew is in “good health.”

Statement obtained by CNN’s Duarte Mendonca in London

The parent company also says they are preparing a formal request to visit the crew to submit to Iranian authorities.“Our insurers in the region have been in contact with the Head of Marine Affairs at the Port of Bandar Abbas, who has reported that the crew members of our vessel Stena Impero are in ‘good health’ and that the tanker is at the nearby Bandar Bahonar anchorage.”

“The Head of Marine Affairs has asked a formal request be made for a visit to be arranged to the crew members and vessel. We can confirm this formal request is being prepared forthwith.” “Our insurers have also advised that the Head of Marine Affairs has confirmed to them that no instructions have been received so far as to what will happen to the ship.”
