UN begins pumping oil from decaying FSO Safer tanker moored off Yemen
The United Nations said Tuesday it had begun transferring one million barrels of oil from a rusting super-tanker off war-torn Yemen, in a bid to avert a catastrophic spill.
“A complex maritime salvage effort is now underway in the Red Sea off the coast of war-torn Yemen to transfer one million barrels of oil from the decaying FSO Safer to a replacement vessel,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement.
