YEMEN SAFER OIL TANKER

UN-led operation to transfer oil from FSO Safer off Yemen coast

The transfer of 1.14 million barrels of oil from the 47-year-old FSO Safer supertanker, stranded off Yemen's Red Sea coast since 1988, will begin next week after the UN-purchased vessel sailed from Djibouti en route to the Safer site, the United Nations has reported. The Nautica is a super-tanker the UN purchased for taking the crude oil from the decaying FSO Safer. The beleaguered FSO Safer has not undergone maintenance since Yemen's war broke out in 2015 and was left abandoned off the Houthis-held port of Hodeidah in the Red Sea, posing a serious risk to the environment off the coast of Yemen due to the possibility of it breaking up or catching fire.
