The #US has sought to intensify pressure on #Cuba since seizing Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in January. #Trump has since cut off Venezuelan #oil shipments to Cuba and threatened to impose tariffs on any country selling oil to the country, stating that Cuba would receive “no more oil or money” as a result of his actions.
Another tanker, the Sea Horse, loaded nearly 200,000 barrels of diesel in late January off Cyprus from another tanker, according to Kpler data.
It exited the Mediterranean on 13 February and has since been sailing west across the Atlantic, slowing down between late Feb. and early March and following an erratic course, the tracker indicated.
