Satellite Data Shows Initial Venezuela-Linked Tanker Confiscated by American Authorities is Currently Off the Texas Coast.
American agents roped onto the deck of the tanker Skipper on December 10th.
Orbital data and ship tracking information has confirmed that the crude carrier named Skipper – the initial vessel apprehended by the US for allegedly carrying embargoed oil from the Venezuelan regime – is now off the coast of Texas.
Vantor satellite imagery from 21 December shows the tanker is near Galveston, while Automatic Identification System vessel-tracking feeds from a maritime data service presently places the Skipper about 80km offshore.
The tanker Skipper was seized by American officials on 10 December and has been blacklisted by several nations. When it was intercepted, it was incorrectly sailing under the flag of the nation of Guyana.
This interception was succeeded by the capture of a second tanker, the Centuries. This ship – unlike the Skipper – was not yet under sanctions when it was brought under US custody.
US authorities are currently pursuing a third such ship, which has been named by the maritime risk group a risk firm as the Bella 1. President Donald Trump stated yesterday that “we’ll end up getting it”.
Writing on X, the maritime monitoring group noted the Bella 1 has been “underway for 39 days” and, at an average speed of 11 nautical miles per hour, may have “approximately a month of fuel left unless her speed decreases”.
The group further stated the vessel is “likely heading south-east towards the South African coast”.
