Washington disposes of Venezuela-linked tanker
The U.S. government has seized the oil tanker "Bella 1," linked to Fentovila, after capturing it in Vienna last January during a chase across the Atlantic Ocean. The vessel had escaped a blockade in the Caribbean, changed its name and Russian flag to evade pursuit, before being detained off the coast of Iceland. Permits have been issued for its dismantling, along with another ship listed on the blacklist, in an effort to eliminate vessels that violate regulations, jeopardize security and the environment, and prevent their return to oil smuggling activities. This action follows a court ruling punishing the ship's captain for refusing to stop, and Washington emphasizes that recycling and dismantling are the final solutions to eliminate such ships.
