美国拦截价值300万美元的赴古巴燃油 shipments,能源封锁收紧

美国已拦截90批运往古巴的生物柴油,总价值近300万美元,这是美国国土安全部牵头实施的美国石油封锁行动的扩大化举措,旨在切断流向这个受制裁岛国危机缠身的能源 sector 的非法贩运燃油。

美国国土安全调查局、美国海关与边境保护局以及商务部产业与安全局表示,这批燃油的目的地是ENETEC S.A.——一家总部位于哈瓦那的燃油批发商,美国财政部外国资产控制办公室已于今年7月将该公司列入制裁名单。

根据国土安全部的说法,联邦机构数周前首次获取情报,显示从美国出口的燃油正被运往这家受制裁的国有企业,违反了美国最新的出口限制规定。

美国国土安全调查局称,今年9月初,在梳理贸易和情报数据后,海关与边境保护局官员发现有生物柴油货轮从佛罗里达州的埃弗格莱兹港和休斯顿港出发,航向哈瓦那。

该机构透露,执法人员在埃弗格莱兹港查获了71个储油罐,内装约50万加仑生物柴油,另有19批载有约12万加仑燃油的货件在休斯顿港被截获。

美国国土安全调查局表示,此次截获行动是针对涉嫌违反联邦出口法律的行为,包括违反《国际紧急经济权力法》以及受《出口管理条例》约束的出口相关规定。

涉事的出口商身份尚未立即披露,相关机构也未说明在正在进行的调查中是否有个人或公司被起诉。

美国国土安全调查局迈阿密分局特别负责人何塞·菲格罗亚在一份声明中承诺,该局将与合作伙伴一道“继续识别、阻断并调查逃避美国制裁的行为,维护美国出口管制的严肃性,阻止古巴政府获取通过违反美国法律途径获得的资源”。

美国海关与边境保护局外勤行动主管丹尼尔·阿隆索表示:“美国海关与边境保护局将坚定不移地在所有领域执行美国法律,涵盖 incoming 贸易和 outbound 货运。”

此次行动是在美国海岸警卫队此前阻断赴古巴海上燃油运输行动的基础上推进的。海岸警卫队上周宣布,已于9月5日在古巴和墨西哥之间截获了“格雷斯号”这艘长约300英尺的货轮,当时该船正运载燃油。海岸警卫队还透露,今年夏天早些时候还查获了另一艘名为“贾赖供应者号”的船只,船上载有超过20万加仑燃油。

今年早些时候,特朗普总统威胁将对任何向古巴出售或提供石油的国家征收关税,以此切断大部分赴古巴的能源运输。

近年来,古巴长期饱受燃油短缺困扰,电网老化且故障频发,再加上美国制裁导致石油供应减少,处境雪上加霜。在哈瓦那,轮流停电影响了水泵运转,导致约350万人面临用水短缺,同时也打乱了当地医院、交通和食品储存的正常运营。

特朗普政府向古巴施压,要求其进行全面的经济和政治改革,并指责古巴政权与俄罗斯、中国和伊朗勾结。古巴已由菲德尔·卡斯特罗创立的共产党执政超过半个世纪。

特朗普也没有排除对古巴使用军事力量的可能,但他上月告诉记者,他希望达成协议,并不认为有必要动用军队。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道,美国陆军后备队于9月下旬接到要求,评估是否能够为美国南方司令部提供警察部队及其他支援单位,作为围绕古巴的持续军事规划的一部分。

与此同时,古巴官员今年早些时候指责美国实施“经济战”和“侵略”。

U.S. intercepts $3 million worth of fuel shipments to Cuba as energy blockade tightens

The U.S. has intercepted 90 Cuba-bound shipments of biodiesel — valued at nearly $3 million — widening a U.S.-imposed oil blockade led by the Department of Homeland Security aimed at choking off illegally trafficked fuel, routed to the sanctioned island’s crisis-hit energy sector.

Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security said the shipments were headed for ENETEC S.A., a Havana-based fuel wholesaler sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control back in July.

According to DHS, federal agencies first uncovered intelligence revealing that fuel exported from the United States was being sent to the sanctioned state-owned company weeks ago, in violation of recent U.S. export restrictions.

Then in early September, after parsing through trade and intelligence data, CBP officials discovered biodiesel shipments leaving from Port Everglades in Florida and the Port of Houston, en route to Havana, Homeland Security Investigations said.

While authorities seized 71 oil storage tanks at Port Everglades containing roughly 500,000 gallons of biodiesel, an additional 19 shipments containing about 120,000 gallons were captured at the Port of Houston, according to the agency.

HSI said the interdictions were carried out amid suspected violations of federal export laws, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, plus regulations governing exports subject to the Export Administration Regulations.

The agencies did not immediately identify the exporters involved nor indicate whether any individuals or companies had been charged in the ongoing investigation.

HSI Miami Special Agent in Charge Jose Figueroa vowed in a statement that the agency would work with partners to “continue to identify, disrupt and investigate efforts to evade U.S. sanctions, protect the integrity of U.S. export controls and deny the Cuban government access to resources obtained in violation of U.S. law.”

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection is steadfast in enforcing the laws of the United States across all domains, encompassing both incoming commerce and outbound shipments,” said Daniel Alonso, director of field operations.

The action tacks onto earlier efforts by the United States Coast Guard to disrupt Cuba-bound maritime fuel shipments. The service branch announced last week that it had intercepted the Grace, a roughly 300-foot cargo vessel, on Sept. 5 between Cuba and Mexico while carrying fuel. The Coast Guard also indicated it had seized another vessel, dubbed the Jaira Provider, earlier in the summer with over 200,000 gallons of fuel aboard.

Earlier this year, President Trump sought to cut off most energy shipments to Cuba by threatening tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to the country.

Cuba has been plagued in recent years by chronic fuel shortages and an aging and testy power grid, combined with reduced oil supplies, in part because of the U.S. restrictions. In Havana, rolling blackouts have undercut water pumping, prompting shortages affecting roughly 3.5 million people, while also causing disruptions for hospitals, transportation and food storage on the island.

The Trump administration has pressed Cuba — which has been run for more than half a century by the Fidel Castro-founded Communist Party — to make sweeping economic and political changes, and has accused the regime of working with Russia, China and Iran.

Mr. Trump also hasn’t ruled out using military force on Cuba, though he told reporters last month he hopes to make a deal and doesn’t believe the military will be necessary. The U.S. Army Reserve was asked in late September to examine whether it can provide police forces and other support units to U.S. Southern Command as part of continued military planning around Cuba, CBS News has reported.

Cuban officials, meanwhile, accused the U.S. of “economic warfare” and “aggression” earlier this year.
