The 25 crew members of the MSC Aries, which was seized by Iran on April 13, are safe, shipping firm MSC said on Wednesday, adding that discussions with Iranian authorities are in progress to secure their earliest release.

“We are also working with the Iranian authorities to have the cargo discharged,” the company said in a news release.

Portugal’s foreign ministry summoned Iran’s ambassador on Tuesday to condemn Saturday’s attack on Israel by Tehran and to demand the immediate release of the Portuguese-flagged container ship.

Vessel seized in Strait of Hormuz amid Iran tensions, shipping firms say

MSC leases the Aries from Gortal Shipping, an affiliate of Zodiac Maritime.

Zodiac is partly owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer.
