CARACAS - The lead vessel of a five-tanker flotilla carrying fuel supplied by Iran to gasoline-thirsty Venezuela neared one of state-run PDVSA’s ports as President Nicolas Maduro thanked Tehran on Sunday.
Tanker Fortune was due to arrive at PDVSA’s El Palito port, close to the capital Caracas, according to a company source and Refinitiv Eikon data showing its trajectory. A second vessel, the Forest, entered the Caribbean Sea on Saturday. The three remaining vessels were crossing the Atlantic. The Trump administration said earlier this month it was considering “measures” to take in response to the shipments, without providing specifics.
