“Earlier today, the team that stabilized the decaying Safer Tanker and transferred more than 1.1 million barrels of oil it held to the replacement vessel Yemen left the site aboard their multi-purpose vessel alongside two other support vessels. The Yemen was the ship formerly known as the Nautica. The completion of the work marks the end of a pivotal chapter in the UN-led operation to address the threat of a major oil spill that have been caused by a leak in or destruction of the Safer Tanker.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“However, critical work remains, including the delivery and installation of a specialized buoy to moor the Yemen to the Safer for safe storage of the oil, as well as the towing and recycling of the Safer Tanker. The Yemen cast off from the Safer last night to a holding anchorage pending the installation of the specialized buoy. To complete the project, 22 million dollars is still required. Generous Member States, the private sector and the global public have already provided 121 million US dollars in funding to prevent a humanitarian, environmental and economic catastrophe in the Red Sea. We are counting on further generous support to finish this critical mission.”
