A Halifax court issued last week a warrant for the seizure of an oil tanker that holds crude oil from Kurdistan, which was last spotted off the Canadian coast. The oil tanker—loaded with crude from Kurdistan and thought to be headed to the U.S. before it turned off its tracker after exiting the Strait of Gibraltar a week ago—had reappeared 300 miles off Halifax, or around 600 miles from Boston, the Financial Times reported last Friday, citing satellite ship-tracking data.
