More and more tankers are abandoning sailing to Venezuela because the US threatens to seize oil tankers that provide financial support to the Maduro government. According to tracking data, at least 7 tankers have taken a U-turn or stopped sailing at sea. Previously, after the US military boarded the “Skipper” tanker, 4 tankers immediately changed course. This batch of tankers that avoided the Caribbean Sea had a total carrying capacity of 12.4 million barrels of crude oil. Due to the refusal of oil tankers to enter, Venezuela's domestic oil storage tanks are becoming saturated.
