Satellite Data Reveals Initial Venezuela-Linked Tanker Confiscated by American Authorities is Currently Off the Texas Coast.
US personnel roped onto the vessel of the Skipper on December 10th.
Satellite imagery and vessel monitoring data has verified that the oil tanker named Skipper – the initial vessel seized by the US for reportedly carrying sanctioned crude from Venezuela – is currently off the coast of the state of Texas.
Vantor orbital photographs dated 21 December shows the tanker is in the vicinity of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System vessel-tracking feeds from a maritime data service currently positions the Skipper about 80km offshore.
The Skipper was seized by US authorities on the tenth of December and has been sanctioned by several governments. When it was intercepted, it was incorrectly sailing under the ensign of Guyana.
This seizure was succeeded by the capture of a second oil vessel, the Centuries tanker. This ship – unlike the Skipper – was not under official restrictions when it was brought under American control.
US authorities are currently pursuing a third vessel, which has been named by the maritime risk group a risk firm as the Bella 1 tanker. 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 “in transit for over a month” and, at an average speed of 11 knots, may have “approximately a month of diesel remaining unless her speed decreases”.
The group added the tanker is “likely heading in a southeasterly direction towards South Africa”.
