WorldUS Coast Guard says it intercepted ship carrying fuel to Cuba

The US Coast Guard says it stopped the 91-metre vessel Grace on 5 September in the Caribbean between Cuba and Mexico while it was allegedly using tactics common to the “dark fleet”. The ship was escorted to Mexico, where Mexican navy inspectors found large quantities of fuel in its ballast tanks and containers believed to hold illicit fuel. The interception came as the Trump administration’s oil embargo continued to intensify shortages and blackouts in Cuba.
