UN unveils plan to prevent stricken oil tanker disaster off Yemen coast
Summary by Ground News
The 45-year-old floating storage and offloading facility holds 1.1 million barrels of oil. Production, offloading and maintenance ceased in 2015 due to the conflict between a pro-Government Saudi-led coalition, and Houthi rebels. A significant spill would have devastating consequences for Yemen and beyond. Clean-up alone would cost $20 billion.
