According to Tanker Trackers, only 40% of the global "Dark Fleet" that serves Venezuela is currently under U.S. sanctions. This information highlights the extent of the fleet operating outside of U.S. regulatory measures.
The "Dark Fleet" refers to a network of tankers that transport oil from Venezuela, which has been subject to various sanctions aimed at limiting its oil exports. The report indicates that a significant portion of this fleet remains unaffected by these sanctions, allowing it to continue operations.
In related coverage, recent developments have shown that sanctioned vessels, such as the Russian tanker HYPERION, have entered Caribbean waters, raising concerns about compliance with U.S. regulations. Additionally, earlier reports noted that other Russian super tankers and vessels have turned back from the Caribbean to avoid potential U.S. seizure.
This situation underscores the challenges faced by the U.S. in enforcing sanctions against Venezuela"s oil industry, as a large segment of the fleet operates without restrictions.
