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 is already seeping into the seawater inlet between Africa and Asia.  Access to the ship is controll...

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 ownership of the Yemeni government via the national oil company, which used her to store and export oil f...
