Satellite Data Shows First Venezuela-Linked Tanker Seized by US is Now Near Texas.
US agents boarding the vessel of the Skipper on December 10th.
Orbital data and ship tracking data has verified that the oil tanker named Skipper – the initial vessel apprehended by the United States for reportedly transporting embargoed crude from Venezuela – is now off the coast of the state of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs dated 21 December indicates the ship is in the vicinity of Galveston, while AIS ship-tracking feeds from MarineTraffic presently positions the Skipper about 50 miles offshore.
The Skipper was taken into custody by US authorities on the tenth of December and has been blacklisted by multiple nations. At the time it was intercepted, it was falsely flying the flag of the nation of Guyana.
This seizure was succeeded by the capture of a another oil vessel, the Centuries tanker. It – unlike the Skipper – was not yet under official restrictions when it was taken into American control.
American agencies are now targeting a third vessel, which has been named by the maritime risk group Vanguard as the Bella 1 tanker. The US President stated yesterday that “it will ultimately be secured”.
Writing on the social media platform X, the TankerTrackers group said the vessel Bella 1 has been “underway for 39 days” and, at an average speed of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “approximately a month of diesel remaining unless her velocity drops”.
The group further stated the vessel is “probably heading in a southeasterly direction towards South Africa”.
