What happened

Swedish authorities lifted an operating ban on the tanker Sea Owl 1 after receiving direct confirmation from Equatorial Guinea that the vessel is properly registered under its flag. The ship had been anchored off Sweden’s southern coast for nearly seven months following initial concerns over its documentation. The tanker had previously been found falsely flying the flag of Comoros.
