Imagery Image Reveals Initial Venezuelan Oil Ship Confiscated by American Authorities is Now Near the Texas Coast.

Satellite imagery and vessel monitoring data has verified that the crude carrier named Skipper – the first vessel seized by the United States for allegedly carrying sanctioned crude from Venezuela – is now positioned near of Texas.
A satellite firm's satellite imagery dated 21 December indicates the ship is near the port of Galveston, while AIS ship-tracking data from a maritime data service presently places the vessel about 50 miles from the coast.
The tanker Skipper was taken into custody by US authorities on the tenth of December and has been sanctioned by several governments. When it was intercepted, it was incorrectly flying the flag of Guyana.
This interception was succeeded by the capture of a another oil vessel, the Centuries. This ship – unlike the Skipper – was not under sanctions when it was taken into American control.
American agencies are currently targeting a third such vessel, which has been identified by the risk management group Vanguard as the Bella 1 tanker. The US President stated recently that “we’ll end up getting it”.
Writing on the social media platform X, the maritime monitoring group said the Bella 1 has been “underway for over a month” and, at an typical pace of 11 knots, may have “another 28 to 35 days of diesel remaining unless her velocity drops”.
The monitoring service added the vessel is “probably traveling south-east towards the South African coast”.
