Vessel had been falsifying its position late last year
When the tanker SKIPPER (IMO 9304667) was intercepted and boarded by the U.S. Coast Guard on Dec. 10, 2025, U.S. authorities said that the vessel was stateless, having falsely claimed to be flagged to Guyana. Of interest to us, however, was the claim that the tanker had been falsifying its position broadcast on the automatic identification system (AIS).
Tool allows convenient interaction with an expanding range of data products
We’ve released an API that makes access to our mountaintop mining data more user-friendly. Providing this data through an API enables users to retrieve specific subsets relevant to their needs quickly and efficiently, supporting our aim of providing open data and related products that are free and accessible to the public.

Cerulean’s latest feature helps ensure more accurate investigation of oil pollution and supports better decision-making for ocean monitoring and enforcement
SkyTruth’s Cerulean platform is a valuable tool for identifying human-caused oil pollution in the ocean, but it also captures natural oil seeps — areas where oil naturally flows to the surface from cracks in the sea floor.
