A Venezuelan-linked oil tanker, seized by U.S. forces in the North Atlantic last week, has arrived in Scotland’s Moray Firth for replenishment. The Marinera, a Russian-flagged vessel previously known as Bella-1, was observed in waters off the north of Scotland on Tuesday, accompanied by a US Coast Guard vessel.
The tanker was captured by U.S. forces last Wednesday as it travelled through the waters between Iceland and Scotland. It had reportedly been pursued across the Atlantic after allegedly approaching the naval blockade around Venezuela.
