Today, Sunday, the Minister of Oil and Minerals, Ahmed Daris, visited the site of “Safer” tanker, which is moored in the port of Ras Issa in Hodeidah governorate.

The minister listened to an explanation from the crew of the oil tanker and its workers about the equipment and arrangements related to the plan to unload the amount of oil from the tanker and save it from dangers, which was caused as a result of the systematic damage it suffered, which led to its systems being out of service due to the prevention of its maintenance, the dismissal of its technical staff, and the prevention of the arrival of diesel fuel for the operation of its engines.

The team stated that the pumps and pipes were equipped to deliver the amount from Safer to the ship designated for oil withdrawal, as well as taking all the information and accurate details of unloading the amount of crude oil, which would contribute to preventing any leakage or water pollution.

They confirmed his full readiness and are now waiting for the replacement ship to unload the tanker’s stock of crude oil.
