U.S. Intercepts Oil Tanker Off Venezuela's Shores

That's the third one.

The U.S. has intercepted another oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, Bloomberg reported. The Panama-flagged Bella 1 tanker was heading to a Venezuelan port to load. The vessel is under U.S. sanctions.

This is the third oil tanker intercepted by the U.S. in the Caribbean Sea since a naval blockade of Venezuela was declared. On December 10, the tanker Skipper was intercepted at sea, and on December 20 - the supertanker Centuries, loaded with 2 million barrels of crude oil.

Although Bloomberg writes that Bella 1 was traveling under the Panamanian flag, according to Marinetraffic service, the vessel made its last voyages under the flag of Guyana. The supertanker is over 330 meters long and 60 meters wide and was built in 2002. The tanker last marked its location four days ago, on its approach to the Lesser Antilles.
