Video: This was the interception of the M/V Grace, the ship that was bringing fuel to Cuba

The United States Coast Guard released images of the operation to intercept the M/V Grace, a vessel sailing through the Caribbean carrying fuel to Cuba.

The video shows the moment when American personnel approach the vessel and carry out the boarding. After the operation, the Grace was escorted to Mexico, where an inspection confirmed the presence of fuel stored in its ballast tanks.

Intercepting is part of the maritime surveillance actions on vessels suspected of employing practices associated with so-called "dark fleets." CiberCuba previously reported on the case and the details of the operation.
