Imagery Data Shows First Venezuela-Linked Tanker Seized by American Authorities is Now Off the Texas Coast.
US personnel roped onto the deck of the Skipper on December 10th.
Orbital data and ship tracking data has verified that the oil tanker Skipper – the initial vessel apprehended by the US for reportedly carrying sanctioned crude from the Venezuelan regime – is now positioned near of the state of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs dated 21 December indicates the tanker is near the port of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System ship-tracking data from a maritime data service presently places the vessel about 80km from the coast.
The Skipper was taken into custody by American officials on the tenth of December and has been sanctioned by multiple nations. At the time it was intercepted, it was incorrectly sailing under the flag of Guyana.
This seizure was followed by the interception of a second oil vessel, the Centuries. This ship – unlike the Skipper – was not under sanctions when it was brought under US custody.
American agencies are currently pursuing a third ship, which has been identified by the risk management group a risk firm as the Bella 1 tanker. The US President said yesterday that “we’ll end up getting it”.
Writing on the social media platform X, the TankerTrackers group said the Bella 1 has been “underway for 39 days” and, at an typical pace of 11 knots, may have “approximately a month of diesel left unless her speed decreases”.
The group further stated the vessel is “likely heading in a southeasterly direction towards the South African coast”.
