In early January 2026, a tanker ІМО 9233349 using the name Priya was spotted in the Caribbean Sea attempting to break through the US-imposed naval blockade of Venezuela. As of January 5, 2026, the tanker was located approximately 40 km east of Grenada. The ship was moving quickly, trying to avoid interception by US forces, and frequently turned off its AIS transponders to conceal its route. Since December 13, 2025, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
