Defence Secretary John Healey has praised the "skill and professionalism" of the Armed Forces in supporting the US to interdict the Russia-flagged oil tanker Marinera in the North Atlantic.
The tanker, which was previously called Bella 1, was seized by the US Coast Guard on Wednesday afternoon after more than two weeks on the run.
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that the Armed Forces provided pre-planned operational support, including basing, at the request of the US, to military assets interdicting the Marinera.
