FSO Safer Start of the Operation

The removal of more than 1 million barrels of oil from the decaying FSO Safer supertanker has begun.

The UN-led project to prevent a massive oil spill off Yemen’s Red Sea coast is progressing.

The ship-to-ship transfer of oil is the critical next step in avoiding an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe.

The transfer of the oil to the replacement tanker Yemen is expected to last 19 days.
