Fears of oil spill grow over stricker tanker in Caribbean

Gary Aboud, the group's corporate secretary, said in the video:"If something goes on, if we have bad weather, there are a number of circumstances that could causes the vessel to flood, and then we have no recourse."

The Nabarima is jointly owned by the Venezuelan state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela and Eni, the Italian oil giant.Lawmakers from the Venezuelan National Assembly, who tend to be critical of President Nicolás Maduro, to urgently unload oil from Nabarima to avoid a disaster and said the risk had"increased alarmingly."“As a result of the weight and tides the ship is perceived to be more inclined than what was reported last August,” said María Gabriela Hernández Del Castillo, president of the assembly's Environment Commission, in a press release., warning that a spill"could negatively impact not only the Venezuelan people but also those in nearby countries.

Oh GOD.... CAL AOC AND BIDEN QUICK

This is only a drop in the bucket the numbers of rigs that death our water. Killing the sea life. Biden greener earth.

Our sweet peach 🍑 bitcoin is hovering just under 13k... All the technical analysts think we are going to get a weekend pump to 14k!!! Invest, my friends! After the PayPal/Venmo adaptation, media buzz 🐝, BITCOIN is a rocket 🚀!!!

If it was was a renewable energy... Like say.... - = HYDROGEN = - It would just be spilling water into the water.

fossil fuels....doing what they do best !

Like Biden said 'Oil pollutes'

Yes, but windmills cause cancer...

A disaster waiting to happen. I don’t think we can expect the Venezuelan government to do the right thing.

Why isn't anyone doing something about this

Energy Minister Franklin Khan said yesterday that a detailed report from a team which visited the vessel in Venezuelan waters on Tuesday, has given the assurance that the oil storage tanker is 'stable and upright at this time'.

Time to update this story . Our government held a press conference to update the world on the situation.

Can't they siphon off the oil in this tanker into other vessels?

God Damn dirty oil. Time for renewables. GreenNewDeal

Probably really dangerous to start moving them now, but it’ll be more dangerous to let the oil out. Don’t expect Venezuela’s govt to shed a tear, they don’t even care about the majority of their people

Global capitalism is destroying us and our misleaders are unable to change. The people tried and lost their power to a bunch of determined capitalists who failed us. We need the biosphere and not the billionaires.

I don’t know how these things are usually sorted but if it’s been sitting out there for so long could they not have used another ship to start moving the barrels before it could reach this state?

Are they waiting for it to spill before doing something or are they gonna do something now about it? They should limit the volume of oil they carry on board the ship rather than filling it to capacity.

Wouldn't be the first. Sunscreen does damage to the oceans marine life too but no one is stopping people wearing it when swimming

So it's been sitting there since January when sanctions started? Did I read that right? Now 10 months later it's listing and could be a disaster. Why didn't it go back where it came from if it couldn't go to it's destination? I'd think 80 million gallons of oil would be worth $$

Wow.... A huge catastrophe.... Really it is

trump admin sitting on their dicks as usual, no money to be made here.

realDonaldTrump NationalGuard Action needs to be taken here someone make the decision on how to even out this disaster the right way. Balance is key in this big problem 💯✨🙏

Ship to Ship transfer

Could? Shut up until there's actually a story

2020 pessimistic prediction: Venezuela does nothing. If tanker leaks, Maduro blames the US with no basis like he does with everything else. Ses creatures die.

Oh no, WTF, is this for real. Save our 🌍🌎🌏 and save our environment.

What's a striker tanker?

fucking again

Going out there to help off load has been known to work
