US Treasury adds six ships to OFAC sanction list for Venezuelan oil

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has added six ships to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanction list for their involvement in transporting Venezuelan oil. The vessels are currently located in regions including Africa, the Indian Ocean, and Southeast Asia.

This action reflects ongoing U.S. efforts to impose sanctions on entities associated with the Venezuelan oil industry. The Treasury"s announcement did not specify the names of the ships or provide further details regarding their operations.

As previously reported, the U.S. government has been actively monitoring maritime activities related to Venezuelan oil exports. Observers are now watching to see how long these ships remain active on the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which tracks vessel movements.
