According to Lloyd's List), the US government has sold two sanctioned tankers to ship recycling companies for dismantling. The two tankers were seized within days of Washington's raid on Venezuela. According to reports, Dubai-based ship recycling company Global Marketing Systems bought these two tankers at undisclosed prices last month. According to reports, the ships sold this time include the “Era,” which was previously named “Marinera” and “Bella 1,” and the “Lileo,” which was previously named “Galileo” and “Veronica.” The tankers will be scrapped at a shipbreaking plant in India. “The US government has sold these tankers to us, and the court has ordered approval for the sale, but there are many complications, in particular, we are not entirely sure who previously owned them,” said GMS CEO Anil Sharma.
