Imagery Image Shows First Venezuela-Linked Oil Ship Confiscated by American Authorities is Currently Near the Texas Coast.

Orbital data and ship tracking information has verified that the crude carrier Skipper – the initial vessel apprehended by the US for reportedly carrying embargoed crude from Venezuela – is currently off the coast of Texas.
A satellite firm's orbital photographs from 21 December indicates the ship is in the vicinity of the port of Galveston, while Automatic Identification System ship-tracking feeds from a maritime data service currently positions the vessel about 80km from the coast.
The tanker Skipper was taken into custody by American officials on 10 December and has been blacklisted by multiple governments. At the time it was intercepted, it was incorrectly flying the flag of the nation of Guyana.
This interception was followed by the capture of a another oil vessel, the Centuries tanker. It – unlike the Skipper – was not yet under official restrictions when it was taken into US custody.
US authorities are currently targeting a third such ship, which has been named by the risk management group a risk firm as the Bella 1. President Donald Trump said yesterday that “we’ll end up getting it”.
Writing on X, the maritime monitoring group noted the Bella 1 has been “in transit 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 “probably traveling south-east towards the South African coast”.
