Trump's Oil Blockade: Ghost Fleets & Sanctioned Tankers
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Former President Donald Trump imposes a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers to Venezuela, exacerbating tensions. Venezuela relies on oil exports for funding, but US sanctions on PDVSA hinder this. To circumvent restrictions, Venezuela uses ghost ships, vessels that frequently change names and flags, and sometimes employ zombie ships using scrapped vessels identities. These tactics are not exclusive to Venezuela, with Russia and Iran also utilizing ghost fleets.
