US lacks Bella 1 capture assault forces

The U.S. reports that the Coast Guard currently cannot seize the Venezuela-linked oil tanker 'Bella 1' due to a lack of specialized boarding forces in the area. The vessel refused to accept Coast Guard representatives, meaning forceful seizure is only possible by elite teams, which are very limited, according to Reuters sources. Without such reinforcements, the operation will be impossible in the near term.

Context

The tanker 'Bella 1' is linked to Venezuela's largest oil company, and the operation is under the jurisdiction of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.

Summary:

The U.S. Coast Guard does not have enough landing forces to seize the Venezuelan-linked tanker Bella 1.
