This morning, a U.S. Coast Guard tactical team, supported by U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy , boarded and seized Motor Tanker (M/T) Olina in international waters east of the Caribbean. Interagency coordination, and an unstoppable joint force, were instrumental in executing a safe, carefully orchestrated operation consistent with international law. Powered by unique law enforcement authorities and specialized capabilities, the Coast Guard is seizing sanctioned oil tankers and protecting the American people from threats on the high seas. M/T Olina is the latest example. Bravo Zulu to our maritime fighting force – and our partners at Department of War 🇺🇸 and Department of State – for their relentless execution of this mission. The Coast Guard continues operations to control, secure, and defend U.S. borders and maritime approaches – where defense of America begins. #USCG #WeOwnTheSea

The world’s criminals are on notice. Early this morning, the U.S. Coast Guard executed a boarding and seizure of the Motor Tanker Olina in international waters east of the Caribbean Sea. As another "ghost fleet" tanker ship suspected of carrying embargoed oil, this vessel had departed Venezuela attempting to evade U.S. forces. Close coordination with the Department of War 🇺🇸, Department of State, and U.S. Department of Justice ensured a safe, effective boarding consistent with law. The ghost fleets will not outrun justice. They will not hide under false claims of nationality. The Coast Guard will seize sanctioned oil tankers, enforce U.S. and international law, and eliminate these funding streams for illicit activity including narco-terrorism. We are deeply proud of the Coast Guard's maritime fighting force for their relentless execution of this mission. This is owning the sea.
