UNDP-Chef Achim Steiner zur FSO Safer 'Entschärfung': "Dass Öl- und und Gasgesellschaften, die ein Rekordjahr mit Gewinnen in Milliardenhöhe hinter sich haben, sich nicht in der Lage sehen, sich zu beteiligen, ist peinlich und schwer nachzuvollziehen."

Die #UN entschärfen eine tickende Zeitbombe vor der Küste Jemens. Am 25.07. hat die Umladung des Öls von der rostigen #FSOSafer auf einen Ersatztanker begonnen. Gemeinsam mit internationalen Partnern haben wir fast zwei Jahre lang hart daran gearbeitet, diesen Moment vorzubereiten.

Very encouraging progress with the #FSOSafer - the rusting #oil tanker which is being made safe by a #UN team in #Yemen

Wie viele Windräder hätten wohl für die Kosten des Auspumpens der #FSOSafer gebaut werden können?
Und dazu noch dieser Name, was für eine Ironie.

« We welcome @UNDP's recent step to purchase a crude carrier to remove the oil from #FSOSafer and prevent a catastrophe in Yemen.

Now it is time for them to step up a gear and ensure that the oil is removed without further delay.

Oil companies announced record profits in 2022. None of them has yet provided funding to remove oil from the #FSOSafer which could crash or explode and cause one of the largest oil spills in history.

Member States of the United Nations must not look away from the people of Yemen & the Red Sea. They must fund the plan to resolve the #FSOSafer crisis.

« We're looking at this decaying #RedSea oil tanker with deep anguish and concern.

The #FSOSafer has more than 140,000 tonnes of toxic crude oil on board.

As each day goes by, the risk of a spill or an explosion grows. Urgent action is needed.
