Satellite Data Shows Initial Venezuelan Oil Ship Confiscated by American Authorities is Now Near Texas.
American personnel boarding the vessel of the Skipper on December 10th.
Satellite imagery and ship tracking information has verified that the oil tanker Skipper – the first vessel apprehended by the United States for allegedly carrying embargoed crude from Venezuela – is now positioned near of the state of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs from 21 December shows the ship is near Galveston, while Automatic Identification System vessel-tracking data from MarineTraffic currently positions the Skipper about 80km from the coast.
The tanker Skipper was seized by American officials on 10 December and has been blacklisted by several nations. When it was seized, it was falsely flying the flag of the nation of Guyana.
This interception was followed by the interception of a second oil vessel, the Centuries. It – unlike the Skipper – was not under official restrictions when it was brought under American control.
American agencies are currently targeting a third such ship, which has been identified by the maritime risk group a risk firm as the Bella 1 tanker. President Donald Trump stated yesterday that “we’ll end up getting it”.
Writing on the social media platform X, the TankerTrackers group said the vessel Bella 1 has been “underway for over a month” and, at an average speed of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “another 28 to 35 days of fuel remaining unless her speed decreases”.
The monitoring service added the tanker is “probably traveling in a southeasterly direction towards the South African coast”.
