Imagery Data Reveals First Venezuelan Tanker Seized by US is Now Off the Texas Coast.
US agents boarding the vessel of the Skipper on December 10th.
Satellite imagery and vessel monitoring data has confirmed that the oil tanker named Skipper – the initial vessel seized by the US for reportedly carrying embargoed oil from the Venezuelan regime – is now positioned near of the state of Texas.
Vantor satellite imagery from 21 December shows the tanker is near the port of Galveston, while AIS ship-tracking data from MarineTraffic presently places the Skipper about 50 miles offshore.
The tanker Skipper was taken into custody by American officials on the tenth of December and has been sanctioned by multiple governments. At the time it was intercepted, it was incorrectly sailing under the ensign of Guyana.
This seizure was followed by the interception of a another oil vessel, the Centuries. This ship – unlike the first vessel – was not under official restrictions when it was taken into American control.
US authorities are currently targeting a third such ship, which has been named by the risk management group a risk firm as the Bella 1. The US President stated recently that “it will ultimately be secured”.
Writing on X, the maritime monitoring group noted the vessel Bella 1 has been “underway for over a month” and, at an average speed of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “approximately a month of diesel left unless her speed decreases”.
The monitoring service further stated the tanker is “probably traveling in a southeasterly direction towards the South African coast”.
