Tankers KERALA and BUENO reportedly had a minor collision, probably just a contact, during night Mar 19-20, at STS transfer area north of Amuay, Venezuela. Tankers suffered slight or no damages, KERALA was allowed to resume sailing after inspection and as of morning Mar 21 was sailing in NE direction in the Caribbean, north of Aruba, destination unknown. BUENO is a sanctioned tanker, so her AIS is off since 2021, she’s trading in Venezuelan waters only, according to Reuters.
