This danger, known as the FSO SAFER, is a massive Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) facility that was neglected off the coast of war-torn Yemen in the Red Sea from 2015 until a few weeks ago.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>During the intervening years it is only\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rfi.fr\/en\/science-environment\/20230719-leaks-repairs-stress-how-skeleton-crew-stopped-red-sea-oil-disaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the heroic efforts of a small skeleton crew<\/a>\u00a0and a great deal of luck that disaster has not happened. There was much relief when a salvage crew arrived in June to lay the groundwork for the oil transfer to the crude carrier, NAUTICA, now renamed YEMEN.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace has tirelessly advocated for action on the FSO SAFER crisis since the beginning. We\u2019ve raised global awareness about the imminent environmental and humanitarian threats, urging for immediate measures to avert a potential catastrophe.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is a vitally important mission and not without its risks. The deteriorating condition of the FSO SAFER is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/press-release\/52094\/fso-safer-tanker-could-trigger-major-oil-disaster-study-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a ticking time bomb that threatens to worsen the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and trigger an environmental disaster<\/a>. You can\u2019t just leave a million-plus barrels of oil sitting in a tanker like this. Without regular maintenance the risk of a leak or explosion is high.<\/p>\n\n<p>A rupture in the vessel\u2019s single-skin hull or an explosion could lead to a spill up to four times greater than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/arctic\/exxon-valdez-oil-spill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the infamous Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989<\/a>. Such a catastrophe would seriously exacerbate what is already considered the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, preventing access to the vital ports of Hodeidah and Salif and impeding the delivery of much-needed aid and food supplies.<\/p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, the chance of avoiding such a catastrophe is now better than it\u2019s been in years.<\/p>\n\n<p>An oil spill in the Red Sea would be nothing short of an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/campaign\/fso-safer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">environmental and humanitarian catastrophe<\/a>, impacting fragile coastal communities, the tourism industry, and marine life.

It\u2019s therefore likely that those responsible for the oil currently on board the FSO SAFER are among the Marib basin producers and their subsidiaries and shareholders from the five blocks that fed the pipeline to FSO SAFER.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/press-release\/55836\/oil-giants-behind-fso-safer-oil-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">They are Occidental, OMV, Sinopec Group, TransGlobe Energy Corporation, ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>These transnational polluters should be paying the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/originals\/2023\/06\/no-alternative-risky-oil-tanker-salvage-yemen-un-says#:~:text=Transferring%20more%20than%20a%20million,senior%20UN%20official%20said%20Wednesday.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">estimated US$140 million cost of the salvage operation<\/a>. Instead, UN members, the private sector and individuals from all over the world have contributed US$121 million, with another estimated US$22 million needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>It may seem like a lot of money but the cost is nothing to oil companies\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2022\/09\/39d480dc-fso-safer-the-fossil-fuel-giants-final-report270922.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">making record profits<\/a>\u00a0e.g. TotalEnergies, one of the companies that used the SAFER, in the first quarter of this year announced a cash flow of over US$9 billion and the figure seems even more paltry when contrasted with the estimated US$20 billion cost of an oil spill. A cost that polluters should pay.<\/p>\n\n<p>Occidental, OMV, Sinopec Group, TransGlobe Energy Corporation, ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies are among the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sustainable-business\/2017\/jul\/10\/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change\">most polluting corporations in the world<\/a>&nbsp;and they should be paying not just for this salvage operation but for their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/fighting-climate-chaos\/exxon-and-the-oil-industry-knew-about-climate-crisis\/exxons-climate-denial-history-a-timeline\/\">historical contribution to climate change and future extreme weather events<\/a>. These corporations and others like them should commit to providing annual payments to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/story\/53638\/spills-explosions-no-more-oil\/\">compensate communities directly and indirectly impacted by their operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Yemen\u2019s coastal communities who depend on the sea for their survival, relying on fishing as a primary source of income, should not be the ones to pay for Big Oil\u2019s disregard for human life and the environment. An\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/holmakhdar.org\/reports\/3831\/\">oil spill would devastate these communities, destroying their limited livelihoods<\/a>\u00a0and plunging them further into poverty.<\/p>\n\n<p>As things stand there won\u2019t be a happy ending to this story but a catastrophic one can be avoided. The oil transfer is not without risk but it\u2019s the best shot in a long time at easing at least one threat that the people of Yemen are facing.<\/p>\n\n<p>The FSO SAFER also serves as a stark reminder of the need to shift away from our reliance on fossil fuels and the corporations so willing to roll the dice with lives and livelihoods. The oil industry must&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/mena\/en\/climate-justice-and-social-justice\/\">take responsibility for its contribution to the climate crisis, pay financially for
