UN starts emergency plan to salvage Yemen’s corroding oil tanker

AL-MUKALLA, 01 November 2022, (TON): The UN has begun phase one of an emergency plan to rescue a deteriorating oil tanker near Yemen’s western city of Hodeidah after obtaining funding from donors, a UN official told Arab News, boosting hopes of defusing the country’s “ticking time bomb.”

Russell Geekie, communication officer for UN Humanitarian Coordinator David Gressly, said that the UN is in negotiations with a company to rescue the tanker as well as secure a vessel to offload the oil, and that a team is working on drafting a rescue strategy.

Geekie said “preparatory work for the operation has already begun, including the processes to contract the salvage company and procure the vessel that will hold the oil.”

He added “completion of a detailed operational plan and procurement of the vessel are the two major steps ahead of the work on the water.”
