The U.S. Coast Guard boarded the M/T Sophia, a supertanker registered in Panama, in the waters of Latin America before dawn. M/TSophia is listed as part of the dark fleet, which reportedly departed from Venezuela in early January with a cargo of crude oil and its tracking systems turned off. The Southern Command has confirmed that the tanker is being escorted to the U.S. for legal proceedings in respect of the sanctions.
