#Venezuela has exported roughly 200 million barrels of crude oil and refined products to about two dozen markets since the capture of Nicolás Maduro on 2026‑01‑03. That is a 19% increase over the same period in 2025. The current volume is worth around $14–15 billion. #OOTT #Tankers
There's close to 60 million barrels of Iranian crude oil trapped by the US Navy blockade. That's nearly $6B in oil revenue that currently isn't reaching Tehran. There are still many vacant tankers available to take on more oil, but as oil production has declined, tanker loadings have fallen as well.
It appears that Russia is not going to try its luck at supplying Cuba with much-needed fuel amid the US-led fuel blockade of the island nation. After drifting for five weeks in the Sargasso Sea, the US-sanctioned, Russian-flagged Handymax tanker UNIVERSAL (9384306) has now deviated 1200nm SE.
1/2) The US Navy successfully blocked numerous sanctions violators off the east coast of Oman. In this visible example, the cargo‑empty Aframax tanker LEVIN (9293155), which normally transports a lot of Iranian oil, was pursued by a US Navy vessel after being redirected back into the Arabian Sea.
This LPG tanker, which is under US sanctions, managed to load LPG at Kharg Island, Iran, two days ago (2026-05-16) at 29.21431, 50.33619. She last pinged on AIS nearly two weeks ago off the coast of India and then slipped through the US Navy blockade line undetected. (ESA Copernicus Sentinel-2)
The US-sanctioned Russian-flagged handymax tanker PEGASUS (9276028) keeps going in and out of the US blockade perimeter, just out of spite. We have multiple satellite images confirming that this is not an AIS spoof.
1/2) In recent days, three cargo-empty, US‑sanctioned tankers slipped through the US Navy blockade line and entered the perimeter. - One did so with AIS briefly offline. - Another flies the Russian flag. - A third hugged the Omani coastline.

An estimated 113 million barrels of oil are at the bottom of oceans within vessels sunk during WWII.
“We will continue to conduct similar maritime interdiction actions and activities in the Pacific and Indian Oceans against Iranian ships and vessels of the Dark Fleet,” Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a news briefing after the vessels were seized. wapo.st/42psxVo
As U.S. blockades Iran, its oil still flows ship to ship an ocean away
Experts say covert transfers at sea are used to obscure the origins of oil that left Iranian ports and the Gulf of Oman before the blockade was imposed.
