The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has dismissed reports linking Nigeria to the supertanker seized by U.S. forces over allegations of crude oil theft and other transnational crimes. NIMASA refutes claims linking Nigeria to the seized VLCC MV Skipper. The MV Skipper, seized by U.S. forces, has no registration under the Nigerian flag. Checks revealed the vessel's owners are not registered with NIMASA as a shipping company. The vessel was intercepted in international waters, carrying the Guyanese flag illegally. The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has dismissed reports linking Nigeria to the MV Skipper, a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) seized by U.S. forces over allegations of crude oil theft and other transnational crimes. In a statement issued on Friday, the agency said the 20-year-old tanker, with IMO Number 9304667, is not registered under the Nigerian flag and has no authorisation to operate as a Nigerian vessel. NIMASA added that preliminary checks show the vessel does not appear in Nigeria’s official ship registry and that its purported owners, Lagos-based Thomarose Global Ventures Ltd., are not registered with the agency as a shipping company. The clarification follows the announcement by the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy that the supertanker was intercepted earlier in the week off the coast of Venezuela. American authorities allege the vessel was involved in crude oil theft, piracy, and the illicit transport of oil from Iran and Venezuela in violation of U.S. sanctions. The Skipper has been under U.S. OFAC sanctions since 2022. NIMASA pledges cooperation with international partners NIMASA stated that tracking data from its C4i Center indicated the vessel was last sighted in Nigerian waters on 1 July 2024, after which it sailed on its regular international routes, operating in the Arabian Sea and subsequently in the Caribbean, where the U.S. interdiction occurred. The agency also noted that the tanker, previously owned by Triton Navigation Corp. of the Marshall Islands, has undergone multiple name and ownership changes. At the time of its interception, the vessel was found flying the Guyanese flag without authorization. Guyana’s Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) confirmed that Skipper is not listed in its national registry, describing the flag use as illegal, a tactic often associated with vessels attempting to evade sanctions or obscure their identities. The Director General of NIMASA, Dr Dayo Mobereola, emphasized the agency’s commitment to cooperate fully with all relevant authorities, including U.S. investigators. Mobereola noted that no form of criminal activity will be tolerated within Nigeria’s maritime domain.
