11. Avril (IMO 9322839) and M.T. Bandra (IMO 9296585) have also remained in Venezuelan waters since late 2024 and early 2025. Like Antlia, both switched to the fraudulent Guinea registry.

10. Apus (IMO 9299745) showed erratic patterns after loading Iranian condensate via ship-to-ship transfer off Khor Fakkan in April 2024 and arriving in Venezuela that December. Windward analysis, supported by Vortexa data, confirms the pattern.
