The Russian tanker Seahorse from the so-called shadow fleet, which is subject to sanctions, turned around on its way to Venezuela after a US warship blocked its route.
This follows from data from a ship tracking service collected by Bloomberg.
On November 13, the Russian tanker Seahorse was carrying fuel to Venezuela when the USS Stockdale destroyer blocked its path.

The Russian vessel then changed course and headed towards Cuba.
The US warship, in turn, sailed near Venezuelan territorial waters in the direction of Puerto Rico.
Since then, the Seahorse has twice tried to approach Venezuela, but both times turned back and remained in the Caribbean Sea.
The intentions of the US destroyer towards the Russian vessel are unclear, and a spokesperson for the US Southern Command refused to comment on the ship’s movements.
