Story says because of sanctions so I’m guessing sanctions

Not without ordering them to refill the fuel tank and leave behind a briefcase of cash.

So it’s about oil. Interesting.

My assumption would be the cartels would curtail their shipment methods. Oil tankers wasn’t my first guess.

Possibly trafficking drugs. I’m gonna go ahead and assume the cartels have adapted and aren’t using speed boats anymore to move their shite.

Looks like they may have seized Hyperion, which was sanctioned for being involved in Russian harmful activities.

The tanker is involved in the export of russian crude oil/oil products from russian ports in the Pacific region, mainly to China, during the period of the G7+ oil embargo and price cap policy. The tanker is affiliated through the sanctioned companies Sun Ship Management (UAE), Oil Tankers SCF MGMT FZCO (UAE), Fornax Ship Management FZCO (UAE) with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia that services and provides offshore hydrocarbon production, transportation of russian crude oil, oil products, and liquefied gas. The major charterers of PJSC Sovcomflot's vessels are russia's largest oil and gas companies and traders. PJSC Sovcomflot is involved in servicing major oil and gas projects in russia: Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2, Varandey, Prirazlomnoye, Novy Port, Yamal LNG and others. On January 10, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel as a property in which Fornax Ship Management FZCO has an interest. On May 20, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions, which enter into force on May 21, 2025, on the tanker for the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products originating in or exported from russia, using irregular high-risk shipping practices as specified in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly Resolution A.1192(33). On June 03, 2025, the sanctions imposed by Switzerland on the vessel came into force. In June 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. On July 21, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel.

Kill everyone on board, transfer the oil to an American tanker, line the hull with shape charges and sink the tanker

The Law offices of SFP, Roger and Bunk are on their way to Caracacas
