Imagery Image Reveals Initial Venezuela-Linked Tanker Confiscated by American Authorities is Now Off Texas.
US agents roped onto the deck of the tanker Skipper on 10 December.
Satellite imagery and vessel monitoring information has verified that the crude carrier named Skipper – the initial vessel seized by the US for allegedly transporting sanctioned oil from the Venezuelan regime – is currently off the coast of the state of Texas.
Vantor satellite imagery from 21 December indicates the ship is near the port of Galveston, while AIS ship-tracking feeds from a maritime data service presently places the Skipper about 50 miles offshore.
The tanker Skipper was taken into custody by US authorities on the tenth of December and has been sanctioned by multiple nations. At the time it was intercepted, it was falsely flying the flag of Guyana.
This interception was succeeded by the capture of a second tanker, the Centuries. This ship – unlike the first vessel – was not under official restrictions when it was taken into US custody.
US authorities are now pursuing a third ship, which has been identified by the maritime risk group Vanguard as the Bella 1. The US President said recently 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 “another 28 to 35 days of fuel left unless her speed decreases”.
The group further stated the vessel is “probably traveling south-east towards the South African coast”.
