Several Oil Tankers Left Venezuela In 'Dark Mode' Ahead Of Nicolas Maduro's Capture: Report

About a dozen tankers loaded with Venezuelan crude and fuel departed in recent days from the country's waters in dark mode, breaking a strict blockade imposed by the US amid intense pressure that mounted until the capture of deposed President Nicolas Maduro, monitoring service TankerTrackers.com said.

All the vessels identified as departed are under US sanctions. A separate group of ships, also under sanctions, left the country in recent days empty after discharging imports or completing domestic transportation trips.
