Satellite Data Shows First Venezuelan Tanker Seized by US is Now Off Texas.
US personnel boarding the vessel of the tanker Skipper on 10 December.
Orbital data and vessel monitoring data has verified that the crude carrier named Skipper â the initial vessel seized by the US for allegedly transporting embargoed oil from Venezuela â is now positioned near of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs dated 21 December indicates the tanker is near the port of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System vessel-tracking feeds from a maritime data service presently places the Skipper about 50 miles offshore.
The Skipper was seized by American officials on 10 December and has been blacklisted by several governments. When it was intercepted, it was incorrectly flying the ensign of the nation of Guyana.
This interception was succeeded by the interception of a another tanker, the Centuries tanker. It â in contrast to the first vessel â was not yet under sanctions when it was taken into US custody.
American agencies are now pursuing a third such vessel, which has been named by the maritime risk group a risk firm as the Bella 1. President Donald Trump stated yesterday that âit will ultimately be securedâ.
Writing on the social media platform X, the TankerTrackers group noted the vessel Bella 1 has been âin transit for over a monthâ and, at an average speed of 11 knots, may have âapproximately a month of fuel left unless her speed decreasesâ.
The group added the vessel is âlikely heading in a southeasterly direction towards the South African coastâ.
