The MV Alaed had its insurance withdrawn (click here) by The Standard Club in London while it was about 50 miles (80.4km) off Scotland's north coast.
The insurer said it had sought more information on the boat's cargo.
Withdrawal of insurance prevents the MV Alaed from sailing until its owner can secure new cover.
It is thought that the vessel has stopped off the Western Isles.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said it was unclear where the vessel would now go.
The Russian embassy in London has not yet commented.
The UK and US have raised concerns with Russia about shipments of weapons to Syria, which is subject to a European Union arms embargo....

The fleet of FEMCO has been completed with m/v ALAED (click here)
FEMCO is a private shipping company. It may be the Russian government does not have direct involvement in the shipment to Syria. That might be some of the issue here. The shipping paperwork specifying the cargo and its owner is in question. Possibly a problem with ownership of FEMCO, too. Hm. Very confusing. Ship owners are suppose to have their act together. This is very upsetting to realize the ship was underway without proper credentials to a place where people are under attack from their government. Very curious. I wonder if the Brits are going to board that darn thing.
As per mutual consent by the parties, the Management Agreement between the Owner and United Nordic Shippin A/S for provision of commercial man...
FEMCO does servicing to oil rigs in Vietnam? Seriously? There is oil offshore Vietnam? If Vietnam has income from oil why are the people so impoverished? What the heck is this all about anyway?
Well, isn't FEMCO just all over the place, huh?
Turkey? Turkey has offshore oil?
Shiraz is a refinery. What bothers me about this is the fact they are getting through a pipeline. Turkey is always having a fit over the Kurds in Northern Iraq. This refinery has been in existence from 1970.
Shiraz Refinery (click here)
In order to prepare the need of oil products in our country, Shiraz refinery was established in 1970 by “M.O.P” and “Snam Projetti “companies, with the capacity of 40.000 barrels a day, and was used in 1973.
The feed of crude oil of this refinery which is based on oil, one of the heavy oil, is provided by a 10” pipe line with the length of 230 km from the oil resources of Gachsaran.
During the war, there were numbers of changes to optimize the producing methods and increasing the products. Designing, making, installing and operation of blown bitumen unit and producing the battery bitumen for the first time in Iran are some of them.
Shiraz refinery products are normal gasoline, super gasoline, jet fuel, jet oil, Kerosene, gas oil, bitumen 60/70, 90/15, bitumen MC 250, fuel oil, sulphur, 402 dissolver and 404 solvants.
Bitumen? That's coal, isn't it?
Shiraz bitumen plant
Bitumen producing unit was designed and installed in 1984 by Iranian specialists. This unit is designed for producing 1250 barrels of bitumen 90/15 a day or 2500 barrels of bitumen 60/70 a day, besides bitumen MC 250 is also produced.
That's tar. They have oil brought in by tanker to process the lousy stuff. Hm. I suppose it is easier to have the oil come from northern Iraq than by ship. Iran is involved with the bitumen plant. Indeed.
The 'connectness' is interesting. Here a company, FEMCO, specializing in offshore oil rig servicing also obtains ships that transport sensitive munitions into the Middle East. I am a little surprised Israel would not have intelligence on this mess.
It is just amazing what human beings find for uses of carbon.
Enough of that, who owns the helicopters? If FEMCO is doing oil work 'at sea' how much of their cargo in the past has been munitions? It gives them great cover. I am quite sure President Putin would like to know as much about this as well. What really bothers me is that Vietnam has been screaming about offshore rights being dominated by China. I don't like any of this. It seems to me there needs to be an investigation into this companies activities globally before they start a nuclear event.
