"That is my understanding of what the basis for the "visit" would be if they went through the process to articulate it which we don't actually know officially but can only presume at this point in time. Further the US apparently did not recognize the claim by several of the tankers that they switched to flag during their voyage when jumping the blockade/quarantine around Venezuela"

"The odd story of the Dark Fleet Tanker RCELEBRA (9286073) continues. Seemingly caught and then released by Malaysian Coast Guard then passed the Singapore Strait today she has now maneuvered into possible anchorage and stopped near Johor Malaysia. Is this inside or outside territorial waters Hard to determine right there. This is not the usual EOPL anchorage used by the Dark Fleet so what is going on Lots of questions remain unanswered. Hope there is clarification. Good time for a Port State Control inspection to check for safety deficiencies. RCELEBRA is sanctioned and also on the @UANI"
