The task of transferring a million barrels of oil from the stricken supertanker Yemen, will take some 19 days - preventing what would be the fifth largest spill in history, were the rusting tanker to break apart. But this process will not end with the oil transfer, because the FSO Safer will continue to pose an environmental threat, the UN is warning. And an additional $22 million in funding is still needed to finish the job. How did the tanker end up off the Yemen coast? The Safer was built as a supertanker in 1976, and converted a decade later into what is in effect, a floating oil container.
