Satellite Image Reveals Initial Venezuelan Tanker Seized by American Authorities is Currently Off Texas.
US personnel roped onto the deck of the tanker Skipper on 10 December.
Orbital data and ship tracking information has confirmed that the crude carrier named Skipper – the first vessel apprehended by the United States for reportedly transporting sanctioned crude from the Venezuelan regime – is currently off the coast of Texas.
Vantor satellite imagery dated 21 December indicates the ship is in the vicinity of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System vessel-tracking feeds from MarineTraffic presently places the Skipper about 80km offshore.
The Skipper was seized by American officials on 10 December and has been blacklisted by several nations. At the time it was seized, it was incorrectly sailing under the flag of the nation of Guyana.
This interception was followed by the interception of a second oil vessel, the Centuries. It – in contrast to the Skipper – was not yet under sanctions when it was taken into US custody.
US authorities are now pursuing a third such vessel, which has been identified by the maritime risk group a risk firm as the Bella 1 tanker. President Donald Trump stated recently that “we’ll end up getting it”.
Writing on X, the TankerTrackers group noted the Bella 1 has been “underway for 39 days” and, at an typical pace of 11 knots, may have “another 28 to 35 days of diesel remaining unless her speed decreases”.
The group further stated the vessel is “probably traveling in a southeasterly direction towards South Africa”.
