The pumping of Iranian oil from the Lana tanker anchored in the Bay of Karystos on Evia stopped on Wednesday morning.
The transfer of 107,000 tons of crude oil to the American-leased tanker Ice Energy began on May 24 after the US ordered its seizure in a sanctions-enforcement action. According to one explanation postulated, the process was stopped for security reasons after a warning issued by the captain of the Lana.
