Tanker carrying fuel likely bound for Cuba halted in Atlantic Ocean, shipping data says

Feb 25 (Reuters) - A Hong Kong-flagged tanker carrying fuel likely bound for Cuba has halted navigation in the Atlantic Ocean, ship tracking data showed on Wednesday, a blow for the oil-thirsty Caribbean nation.

The tanker Sea Horse loaded through a ship-to-ship transfer in the Mediterranean before departing towards the Caribbean Sea, according to monitoring service TankerTrackers.com. The vessel had been expected to arrive in Cuban waters later this week, according to its speed and trajectory.
