Fires from an explosion would pollute the air with serious health impacts for poverty stricken local communities and response personnel. The UN must resolve the impasse, have the tanker inspected and enact plans to make the ship safe and remove the oil.\u201d[2]&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The priority is to avoid a disaster and quickly start the safe removal of oil from the FSO Safer, while preparing to tackle a potential oil spill, which could rank in the top 10 of the world&#8217;s biggest spills.[3]&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Jennifer Morgan, Executive Director of Greenpeace International said: <\/strong>\u201cThe UN must act now to avoid what could be the region\u2019s biggest oil disaster this century. The solutions are available, the expertise and technologies to help are known. It\u2019s time to step up and prevent further catastrophe for the people of Yemen, with potential impacts on millions of others in surrounding areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe political deadlock must be broken and the international community has to find a swift peaceful resolution to access the rusting oil tanker. The risks of devastation are increasing with every passing day of inaction.\u201d<br>The giant tanker is one of the world\u2019s biggest ships at 360 metres long and 70 metres wide, built in 1976 and called Esso Japan, later renamed as the FSO Safer. Since 1988, it has been anchored off the coast of Yemen in the southern Red Sea as a Floating Storage and Offload unit. Since 2014, there has been no maintenance and the single-hull ship shows serious signs of rusting. There is also a concern that the generators, the fire fighting equipment and the inert gas system are reportedly not working.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-2802 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/mena\/en\/act\/join-the-movement\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2019\/01\/bd8c4629-74e4e3e1-indam-ila-al7irak-1024x525.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2019\/01\/bd8c4629-74e4e3e1-indam-ila-al7irak-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2019\/01\/bd8c4629-74e4e3e1-indam-ila-al7irak-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2019\/01\/bd8c4629-74e4e3e1-indam-ila-al7irak-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2019\/01\/bd8c4629-74e4e3e1-indam-ila-al7irak-510x262.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2019\/01\/bd8c4629-74e4e3e1-indam-ila-al7irak.jpg 1366w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/mena\/en\/act\/join-the-movement\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJoin The Movement\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Greenpeace has been protecting the environment for decades.

More than nine years have passed since I joined the team at Greenpeace, and it seems like just yesterday! I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that our team is special, in how we work together, how we relate to each other, how we resolve our differences and even how we express our frustration. It has always been great to end the day with an outing with the team, or a heated debate about current events. A week in the office was never complete without some kind of activity that brought us together as people, celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests, and - I must admit, several practical jokes! Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls. I\u2019m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!

More than nine years have passed since I joined the team at Greenpeace, and it seems like just yesterday! I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that our team is special, in how we work together, how we relate to each other, how we resolve our differences and even how we express our frustration. It has always been great to end the day with an outing with the team, or a heated debate about current events. A week in the office was never complete without some kind of activity that brought us together as people, celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests, and - I must admit, several practical jokes! Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls. I\u2019m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!
