Imagery Image Shows First Venezuelan Tanker Confiscated by US is Now Near the Texas Coast.
US personnel boarding the vessel of the tanker Skipper on 10 December.
Satellite imagery and vessel monitoring information has confirmed that the crude carrier named Skipper â the first vessel apprehended by the US for reportedly carrying sanctioned oil from the Venezuelan regime â is now off the coast of Texas.
A satellite firm's satellite imagery from 21 December indicates the ship is in the vicinity of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System vessel-tracking data from MarineTraffic presently places the Skipper about 80km offshore.
The Skipper was seized by American officials on 10 December and has been blacklisted by multiple nations. When it was intercepted, it was falsely sailing under the ensign of the nation of Guyana.
This seizure was followed by the capture of a second tanker, the Centuries tanker. This ship â unlike the Skipper â was not yet under sanctions when it was brought under American control.
US authorities are currently targeting a third such ship, which has been identified by the maritime risk group Vanguard as the Bella 1 tanker. The US President stated recently that âit will ultimately be securedâ.
Writing on the social media platform X, the TankerTrackers group said the vessel Bella 1 has been âunderway for 39 daysâ and, at an average speed of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have âanother 28 to 35 days of diesel remaining unless her speed decreasesâ.
The monitoring service added the tanker is âlikely heading south-east towards South Africaâ.
