Erik Hanell, who heads the Sweden-based Stena Bulk group, also says the Swedish Foreign Ministry and "various UK government departments" assisted in securing the release of the vessel that was held at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.

Iran seized the tanker July 19 in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of all oil passes.
