December 16, 2020 4 min read Scientists are calling for action to remove the oil from a decaying and inactive tanker in the Red Sea that holds approximately one million barrels of oil – four times the amount of oil contained in the Exxon Valdez, the tanker that had a disastrous environmental oil spill in 1989 –  before its current seepage turns into a massive oil spill into the sea.

Corals in the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea (Credit: Maoz Fine) (CN) — Oil from a decaying tanker in the Red Sea must be removed immediately to prevent an environmental disaster four times the size of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, a team of international scientists warned Tuesday. In a policy brief published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, researchers explained the tanker Safer is an abandoned storage and offloading vessel containing 1.15 million barrels of crude oil that ...

The moored FSO Safer A massive oil spill of one million barrels is anticipated shortly in the Red Sea, off the coast of Yemen, as the FSO Safer floating storage and offloading unit begins to leak. FSO Safer is a floating oil storage and offloading vessel that is moored in the Red Sea north of the Yemeni city of Al Hudaydah. It was built in 1976 by the Hitachi Zosen Corporation in Japan as the oil tanker Esso Japan. She was moored about 4.3 miles off of the coast of Yemen in 1988 under the owner...

The Safer is definitely not safe New research published today in Frontiers in Marine Science by an international collaboration of scientists urges for the removal of an inactive tanker called the Safer. The Safer sits in the Red Sea and holds roughly a million barrels of oil in storage, but its decaying state concerns scientists who say that a spill is inevitable – but avoidable. The policy brief is published under the title "A Closing Window of Opportunity to Save a Unique Marine Ecosystem...

The Red Sea is at risk of becoming an oil-drenched waste, according to a new paper. It draws attention to the need of removing an abandoned, decaying tanker from the sea that holds approximately one million barrels of oil. Image via Pixabay. The ship, named quite ironically the “FSO Safer”, was employed as a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) for several years before being abandoned due to the Yemeni Civil War. Now it’s essentially a floating, derelict oil container. Although no l...

Russia may miscalculate at a certain point at which point we would have to respond with proportionality because we couldnt back down from such an act of aggression. thats why this is such a dangerous power. not because russia is a competitor. it is not. its because it has a closing window, a declining power and is acting very aggressively. we need to respond in kind. >> dana: if there is not a response, like a proportional response, then i think they will obviously just keep doing it and worse. ...

Yes, its a closing window. every day it closes a bit. but to suggest there isnt time to do something on comprehensive immigration reform, i think its inaccurate. >> well, im not saying that theyll do it. im just saying if you look at the calendar, they could find a way if they are committed doing it. >> theyve been working on it now for well over a year. >> right. >> i think this crisis puts tremendous pressure on john boehner to actually finally move something. hes going to have to bring someth...
