Multiple oil tankers break through the US blockade and leave Venezuelan waters
According to US media on January 5, over the past two days, at least 16 oil tankers have attempted to break through the US maritime blockade of Venezuela. Satellite images show that four of the oil tankers have left Venezuelan waters.
The New York Times reported that these tankers tried to break through the US blockade by disguising their real locations or turning off their ship transmission signals. Satellite images show that these tankers have been anchored in Venezuelan ports for weeks, but after the US forcibly took control of Venezuelan President Maduro on the 3rd, they all left their original positions.
The report said that four oil tankers were tracked by satellites sailing about 48 kilometers from the coast. As of the 4th, one of the oil tankers had sailed hundreds of kilometers away from Venezuela. It is sailing northeast in the Atlantic, about 40 kilometers west of the Caribbean island nation of Grenada. This oil tanker appears not to be carrying crude oil, so its speed is faster than the other three tankers. Another 12 oil tankers did not send any signals and were not located in the satellite images.
Another US media outlet reported that at least four oil tankers briefly stopped near the offshore boundary of Venezuela before departing from Venezuelan waters via a route north of Panama's Magdalena Island. (Xinhua News Agency)
