Quick Glance: UN successfully completes oil removal from decaying tanker off Yemen
- The United Nations has successfully removed over 1 million barrels of oil from a decaying supertanker off Yemen's coast, preventing a potential environmental disaster.
- Experts have been warning for years about the risk of an oil catastrophe along the entire Red Sea coastline, as the rusty Safer tanker could have ruptured or exploded, releasing four times the amount of oil as the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska.
- The war in Yemen resulted in the suspension of maintenance operations on the Safer tanker in 2015.
- The ship serves as a storage vessel and has been anchored off the coast of Yemen for over 30 years.
