Four Greek tankers allegedly carrying Venezuelan crude oil have been blacklisted by the US Treasury Department at the Office of Foreign Assets Control on June 2, 2020. This affected the "Athens Voyager", the "Chios l", the "Seahero" and the "Voyager l".

Suspicions raised by a Brazilian researcher that the 'Leo Glory', now 'called Voyager I', could have been the cause of a huge oil spill still washing up on the shores of Brazil proved unfounded. A coordinator from the Satellite Image Processing and Analysis Laboratory (Lapis) at the Federal University of Alagoas, had identified a NGM Energy-managed vessel as a possible culprit for the incident, in a public hearing on Nov 21, 2019, in Brazil. According to a data provider, the vessel was in Vadinar during the entire period when the pollution occurred. Random AIS signals sometimes match vessels' Maritime Mobile Service Identities (MMSIs) and make the ships appear in erroneous positions. The Lapis coordinator also blamed a few data providers for the mishap.
