YEMEN SAFER OIL TANKER

Replacement vessel Nautica arrives in Yemeni coasts

epa10751717 Houthi officials inspect the UN-purchased replacement vessel Nautica in the Red Sea, off the coast of the western Hodeidah province, Yemen, 17 July 2023. The UN-purchased replacement vessel Nautica has arrived in the coast of the western Yemeni province of Hodeidah to take 1.14 million barrels of crude oil from the decaying FSO Safer supertanker off Yemen?s Red Sea coast after all technical preparations and agreements have been finalized. The transfer of crude oil from the 47-year-old FSO Safer supertanker, stranded off Yemen?s Red Sea coast since 1988, is a UN-led operation to prevent a massive oil spill from the beleaguered vessel which has not undergone maintenance since Yemen's war broke out in 2015. It 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.
