Imagery Image Shows First Venezuelan Tanker Confiscated by US is Currently Near the Texas Coast.
US personnel roped onto the deck of the tanker Skipper on December 10th.
Satellite imagery and ship tracking data has verified that the crude carrier named Skipper – the initial vessel apprehended by the US for allegedly carrying embargoed crude from Venezuela – is now off the coast of the state of Texas.
Vantor satellite imagery from 21 December shows the tanker is near the port of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System ship-tracking data from MarineTraffic presently places the vessel about 50 miles from the coast.
The Skipper was taken into custody by American officials on 10 December and has been sanctioned by several nations. When it was seized, it was incorrectly flying the flag of the nation of Guyana.
This interception was followed by the interception of a another tanker, the Centuries tanker. This ship – unlike the first vessel – was not yet under sanctions when it was taken into American control.
US authorities are now targeting a third such vessel, which has been identified by the maritime risk group Vanguard as the Bella 1. President Donald Trump said recently that “it will ultimately be secured”.
Writing on the social media platform X, the maritime monitoring group noted the vessel Bella 1 has been “underway for over a month” and, at an typical pace of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “another 28 to 35 days of fuel left unless her velocity decreases”.
The group added the vessel is “likely heading south-east towards the South African coast”.
