This was a tanker that was chased away from the coast of Venezuela last month by U.S.

ships when it was trying to dock in Venezuela.

As I say, it's a sanctioned vessel.

President Trump in recent weeks has implemented this blockade on Venezuela to try to halt exports of oil from the country via sanctioned tankers, part of putting pressure on the regime.

It's a Russian-linked vessel, I think we can call it that.

It's part of the Shadow Fleet, which many of you know.

No, it's part of this global fleet of tankers that are subject to sanctions.

Frequently, they turn off their transponders.

They literally try to fly under the radar.
