Detention off Lebanon

The 'Jaguar S', while en route from Kali Limenes, was detained by the Lebanese Customs while at anchor off the coast of Zahrani, South Lebanon, as of Oct 3, 2020. The tanker raised suspicions when it anchored in pos. 33° 31.82' N 035° 19.37' E in Lebanese waters on Oct 3, even though it was expected by neither official sources nor private companies. The vessel was revealed to be carrying a fuel shipment, but its destination was a mystery at the time of its arrival, as was the reason behind the vessel entering Lebanese waters. The vessel was detained while an investigation was launched. Later it was discovered that its intended destination was Syria, and that its owner was a Syrian company. However, the vessel remained in custody until the investigation has revealed why the vessel arrived specifically in Zahrani
