The six vessels — Icaro, Luisa Caceres de Arismendi, Manuela Saenz, Paramaconi, Terepaima and Yare — have been identified as blocked property of Venezuela’s state-run oil firm Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PdVSA), according to a statement issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Additionally, the Treasury Department also identified the vessel Esperanza as blocked property of Caroil Transport Marine which was sanctioned in September this year.
