Satellite Data Shows First Venezuela-Linked Tanker Seized by American Authorities is Currently Near Texas.
US personnel roped onto the deck of the Skipper on December 10th.
Orbital data and vessel monitoring data has confirmed that the crude carrier named Skipper – the first vessel apprehended by the United States for reportedly transporting embargoed crude from the Venezuelan regime – is currently positioned near of the state of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs from 21 December shows the ship is near the port of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System vessel-tracking data from MarineTraffic currently places the vessel about 50 miles offshore.
The tanker Skipper was seized by American officials on the tenth of December and has been blacklisted by multiple nations. When it was intercepted, it was falsely flying the flag of Guyana.
This interception was succeeded by the capture of a second tanker, the Centuries. It – unlike the first vessel – was not yet under sanctions when it was brought under American control.
US authorities are currently pursuing a third such vessel, which has been named by the maritime risk group a risk firm as the Bella 1 tanker. President Donald Trump stated yesterday that “it will ultimately be secured”.
Writing on X, the maritime monitoring group said the Bella 1 has been “in transit for over a month” and, at an typical pace of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “another 28 to 35 days of fuel left unless her velocity drops”.
The group added the vessel is “probably heading south-east towards the South African coast”.
