After completing its mission to pump the oil, the Beleef Boskalis used for #FSOSafer by the United Nations led operation to #StopRedSeaSpill arrived in #Djibouti . Thank to President Aboubaker Omar Hadi and Team for the excellent support. #UNDP is grateful to #Djibouti for incredible support 🙏

IT HAS BEGUN! Today at 10:45 Yemen time, SMIT Salvage began the transfer of more than 1 mln barrels of oil from the decaying #FSOSafer to the replacement vessel Yemen (formerly Nautica). The transfer should be completed in less than three weeks. #StopRedSeaSpill

The replacement vessel has arrived off Yemen’s Red Sea coast to take on over 1.1 million barrels of crude oil from the decaying #FSOSafer tanker.
This is a major step forward for the United Nations-led operation to #StopRedSeaSpill and avert an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe.

MORE THAN HALF THE OIL aboard the decaying #FSOSafer has been transferred to the replacement vessel Yemen in the past 7 days. The #UN thanks financial contributors, technical experts, advocates from across the globe + Yemeni partners for bringing us to this point #StopRedSeaSpill

We are sitting on a timebomb.

The abandoned #FSOSafer holds 1.4 million barrels of oil and could cause a major oil leak or explosion, with potentially catastrophic impacts.

Enough delays, it’s time UN Development acts to protect Yemenis and the Red Sea.

#StopRedSeaSpill

A major environmental disaster has been averted! The old and unsafe #FSOSafer tanker off Yemen's coast has been successfully emptied of oil. Generous donations and great public-private partnership have made this possible. Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱 #StopRedSeaSpill

In August, we removed 1.1M oil barrels from decaying #FSOSafer , stopping a potentially catastrophic spill in the Red Sea.

As nations gather next week at #UNGA , we look to this success as inspiration & proof of the power of multilateralism & collective action.
