Marine infantry and sailors took control of the tanker Veronica before dawn, the US Southern Command, said in a post on X. The operation was reportedly carried out without incident.
US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on X that the vessel was a sanctioned tanker that had previously transited Venezuelan waters and violated a blockade imposed by President Donald Trump. The seizure is the latest in a series of similar actions in recent weeks, after Trump announced a "a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers" travelling to and from Venezuela.
