Satellite Data Reveals Initial Venezuela-Linked Oil Ship Confiscated by American Authorities is Currently Near the Texas Coast.
American personnel boarding the vessel of the tanker Skipper on December 10th.
Satellite imagery and ship tracking information has confirmed that the crude carrier named Skipper – the initial vessel seized by the US for reportedly carrying embargoed oil from the Venezuelan regime – is currently off the coast of the state of Texas.
Vantor satellite imagery dated 21 December indicates the tanker is in the vicinity of Galveston, while AIS vessel-tracking feeds from a maritime data service presently places the vessel about 50 miles offshore.
The Skipper was seized by American officials on the tenth of December and has been blacklisted by multiple governments. At the time it was seized, it was incorrectly sailing under the ensign of Guyana.
This seizure was followed by the capture of a second oil vessel, the Centuries tanker. This ship – unlike the first vessel – was not under official restrictions when it was brought under American control.
US authorities are currently pursuing a third ship, which has been named by the maritime risk 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 maritime monitoring group noted the vessel Bella 1 has been “in transit for 39 days” and, at an average speed of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “another 28 to 35 days of fuel remaining unless her speed drops”.
The monitoring service added the vessel is “likely traveling south-east towards the South African coast”.
