Imagery Data Shows First Venezuelan Tanker Confiscated by US is Now Near the Texas Coast.
US personnel roped onto the deck of the tanker Skipper on 10 December.
Satellite imagery and vessel monitoring data has confirmed that the crude carrier named Skipper – the initial vessel seized by the US for reportedly carrying sanctioned oil from the Venezuelan regime – is now positioned near of Texas.
Vantor orbital photographs dated 21 December shows the tanker is near the port of Galveston, while AIS ship-tracking data from MarineTraffic presently places the Skipper about 80km from the coast.
The Skipper was seized by American officials on 10 December and has been sanctioned by multiple nations. At the time it was seized, it was incorrectly flying the flag of Guyana.
This interception was succeeded by the interception of a second oil vessel, the Centuries tanker. It – unlike the first vessel – was not yet under sanctions when it was brought under American control.
American agencies are currently pursuing a third vessel, which has been named by the risk management group a risk firm as the Bella 1. President Donald Trump said yesterday that “it will ultimately be secured”.
Writing on X, the maritime monitoring group said the vessel Bella 1 has been “underway for 39 days” and, at an average speed of 11 knots, may have “approximately a month of diesel remaining unless her speed decreases”.
The monitoring service added the tanker is “likely traveling south-east towards South Africa”.
