Satellite Image Reveals Initial Venezuela-Linked Oil Ship Confiscated by US is Now Off the Texas Coast.

Satellite imagery and ship tracking data has verified that the oil tanker Skipper – the first vessel apprehended by the US for allegedly transporting sanctioned oil from Venezuela – is currently off the coast of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs from 21 December indicates the ship is near the port of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System ship-tracking feeds from MarineTraffic currently positions the Skipper about 50 miles from the coast.
The tanker Skipper was taken into custody by American officials on the tenth of December and has been blacklisted by multiple nations. When it was seized, it was falsely sailing under the flag of the nation of Guyana.
This interception was succeeded by the interception of a another oil vessel, the Centuries tanker. This ship – unlike the Skipper – was not under sanctions when it was taken into American control.
US authorities are currently targeting a third ship, which has been identified by the risk management group Vanguard as the Bella 1 tanker. President Donald Trump stated recently that “we’ll end up getting it”.
Writing on X, the maritime monitoring group said the Bella 1 has been “underway for over a month” and, at an typical pace of 11 knots, may have “another 28 to 35 days of fuel remaining unless her velocity drops”.
The monitoring service further stated the vessel is “probably traveling south-east towards the South African coast”.
