LONDON, July 15 (Reuters) - A Chevron ( CVX )-chartered

oil tanker seized by Iran more than a year ago has dropped

anchor near the United Arab Emirates port of Khor Fakkan, ship

tracking data showed on Monday.

The Marshall Islands-flagged Advantage Sweet was boarded by

Iran's military in the Gulf of Oman in April 2023 after an

alleged collision with an Iranian boat.

After sailing away from Iran last week, its latest position

was located close to the UAE, LSEG data showed on Monday.

A Chevron ( CVX ) spokesperson said on Saturday it was aware of

reports that the tanker was released on July 10.

"We are pleased to see the safe release of the vessel and

crew," the Chevron ( CVX ) spokesperson said in an emailed comment,

without providing further details.
