Despite being 4,000 km from US shores, the civilian vessel has been shadowed for days by US and NATO assets," the Ministry added."
"The Venezuelan oil tanker Bella 1 who changed their name to the Marinera and then changed country status to being a Russian flagged ship has been seized by the US, according to NBC News. Photos online show a MH-6 Little Bird helicopter carrying US forces approaching the Marinera in the North Atlantic. The US operation was led by the Homeland Security with American military support, it is not known if the UK gave any assistance."
The US seized the tanker Marinera, formerly Bella 1, after an operation led by the Department of Homeland Security with American military support. Photographs show an MH-6 Little Bird helicopter and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter approaching and pursuing the vessel in the North Atlantic. The ship is over 4,000 km from US shores. Downing Street declined to comment on use of RAF bases and it is unclear whether the UK assisted. The Russian Foreign Ministry said the vessel sails under the Russian state flag in international waters and alleged it was shadowed by US and NATO assets. The US also dispatched a submarine and described the vessel as part of a shadow fleet used to transport Russian oil.
