March 27 (UPI) -- A tanker carrying Russian fuel initially headed to Cuba ended up docking in Venezuela after weeks of deviations, while a second oil-carrying vessel remains without a clear destination in the Caribbean amid the island nation's energy crisis.
The vessel Sea Horse, sailing under the Hong Kong flag, had been closely tracked by maritime analysts since it departed from the eastern Mediterranean carrying between 190,000 and 200,000 barrels of Russian diesel initially destined for Cuba.
During its voyage, the tanker repeatedly changed its declared destination. It went from being listed as en route to Havana to indicating "Caribbean Sea" and later Trinidad and Tobago in a pattern that reflected growing uncertainty about its final destination.
Ultimately, the Sea Horse arrived at Puerto Cabello, in Venezuela, on Wednesday morning after nearly 50 days in transit.
The stealthy tanker Sea Horse arrived at Venezuela's Puerto Cabello OPL, carrying a shipment of diesel destined for Cuba.
