Satellite Image Shows Initial Venezuela-Linked Oil Ship Confiscated by US is Currently Near Texas.
American personnel roped onto the vessel of the Skipper on December 10th.
Orbital data and ship tracking data has confirmed that the crude carrier Skipper – the first vessel seized by the US for allegedly transporting embargoed crude from Venezuela – is now off the coast of the state of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs from 21 December indicates the ship is near the port of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System ship-tracking feeds from MarineTraffic currently places the Skipper about 50 miles offshore.
The tanker Skipper was taken into custody by American officials on 10 December and has been sanctioned by multiple governments. When it was seized, it was falsely flying the ensign 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 US custody.
US authorities are now targeting a third vessel, which has been identified by the maritime risk group Vanguard as the Bella 1 tanker. The US President stated yesterday that “it will ultimately be secured”.
Writing on X, the TankerTrackers group said the Bella 1 has been “in transit for over a month” and, at an average speed of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “another 28 to 35 days of diesel remaining unless her velocity decreases”.
The group added the vessel is “likely traveling in a southeasterly direction towards South Africa”.
