The Greek-flagged Sounion is carrying 150,000 tonnes of crude oil and a spill has the potential to be among the largest from a ship on record
The Greek-flagged crude oil tanker Sounion, which was attacked by Yemen’s Houthis last week, is still on fire in the Red Sea and now appears to be leaking oil, the Pentagon has said.
The tanker was targeted last week by multiple projectiles off Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah. The Houthis, who control Yemen’s most populous regions, said they were behind the attack.
The Sounion is carrying 150,000 tonnes of crude oil and if a spill occurs, has the potential to be among the largest from a ship in recorded history.
Wouldn’t you know it, two things can be true at the same time.
In the united states, I-90 is one of the busiest interstates, but if someone is actively shooting at vehicles on it, it’s still stupid to drive through the shooting.
Extra stupid if you’re hauling oil.
