The Coast Guard interdicts the Motor Vessel Grace, following a coordinated international enforcement effort confirming the vessel’s illicit trafficking of fuel to Cuba in September 2026 in the Caribbean Sea. A Coast Guard tactical team boarded M/V Grace, which was transiting to Cuba, carrying fuel, and was believed to be employing tactics common amongst the “dark fleet.” Following the boarding, the Coast Guard escorted the M/V Grace to Progreso, Mexico, where a Mexican Navy (MARINA) inspection team confirmed the presence of large quantities of fuel in the vessel’s ballast tanks. The vessel was also carrying several containers believed to contain illicit fuel. (U.S. Coast Guard video)
