A tanker believed to be carrying Russian oil that was on its way to Cuba changed course and diverted from the island, which continues to experience severe fuel shortages.

The Sea Horse is now drifting in the North Atlantic Ocean, Bloomberg reported on Thursday. The vessel is believed to be carrying some 200,000 barrels of gas oil, the outlet added, based on shipping analytics from Kpler Ltd.

Cuba didn't receive any oil in January for the first time in a decade. Bloomberg noted in another report that the lack of shipments illustrates the acute lack of fuel taking place in the country, with an analyst telling the outlet that he expects it to run out in the coming weeks.
