Suezmax Tanker Attacked by Houthis off Yemen on August 21, Raising Environmental Concerns
Aug 25, 2024, 07:30 PM
A Greek-flagged oil tanker, the MT Delta Sounion, classified as a Suezmax, has been attacked by Houthi rebels off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea, leading to a significant fire on board. The attack, which occurred on August 21, has raised concerns about a potential ecological disaster, as the tanker is carrying 150,000 tons of crude oil, equivalent to a million barrels. This volume is reportedly four times the size of the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989. Despite the fires observed on the vessel, the EU naval mission Aspides has reported no visible oil spills so far. The United States has expressed grave concern over the incident, highlighting the risk of a severe environmental catastrophe. The tanker remains anchored in the Red Sea, with ongoing efforts to manage the situation.
