Imagery Image Shows Initial Venezuelan Oil Ship Seized by US is Currently Off the Texas Coast.
American personnel roped onto the deck of the tanker Skipper on December 10th.
Satellite imagery and vessel monitoring information has confirmed that the oil tanker Skipper – the initial vessel apprehended by the US for reportedly transporting sanctioned crude from the Venezuelan regime – is now off the coast of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs from 21 December shows the ship is in the vicinity of the port of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System vessel-tracking data from a maritime data service currently places the vessel about 80km offshore.
The Skipper was taken into custody by US authorities on 10 December and has been blacklisted by multiple governments. At the time it was seized, it was falsely flying the flag of the nation of Guyana.
This interception was followed by the interception of a second tanker, the Centuries tanker. It – in contrast to the first vessel – was not under sanctions when it was taken into American control.
American agencies are currently pursuing a third such vessel, which has been identified by the risk management group a risk firm as the Bella 1 tanker. President Donald Trump said yesterday that “it will ultimately be secured”.
Writing on X, the maritime monitoring group noted the vessel Bella 1 has been “underway for over a month” and, at an typical pace of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “another 28 to 35 days of diesel remaining unless her speed drops”.
The group added the tanker is “likely heading in a southeasterly direction towards South Africa”.
