Oil Leak from Sanctioned Tanker Caroline Bezengi Threatens Oman's Marine Ecosystem
A sanctioned oil tanker, Caroline Bezengi, has been leaking crude oil off the coast of Oman, posing a significant environmental threat. Satellite images reveal an oil sheen covering approximately 20 square kilometers around Dhofar's Qibliyah Island. The tanker, sanctioned by the UK, EU, Canada, and Switzerland for carrying Russian-origin oil, has been grounded since June. Environmental experts warn of the potential for a larger disaster due to the ongoing leak and the tanker's precarious location. The situation highlights the risks associated with Russia's 'shadow fleet' of tankers.
