The Evening Star newspaper, dated 6 April 2007, reports that on 25 March 2007, whilst towing another Norwegian vessel from Norway to Iran, problems were encountered by the tug in the North Sea and the tow broke. The towed vessel was detained at Felixstowe by HM Revenue and Customs on behalf of the Admiralty, after serving a legal notice relating to some deficiences. It is reported that the towed vessel was believed to be carrying an Iranian naval vessel.
