Status of efforts to remove oil from stranded vessel off Al-Halaniyat
The efforts of the Ministry of Transport and Communications in Oman have been focused on mitigating oil spill leakage resulting from the grounding of the "Caroline Bizneggi" ship off the coast of Qablya Island in the Al-Hallaniyat Islands. Marine teams faced significant challenges due to harsh weather conditions, including wind speeds reaching 40 knots and high waves, in addition to the shallow and rocky nature of the area, which complicated approaches to the vessel and rescue operations. The teams are assessing the ship’s technical condition and working to stabilize it, conducting precise maritime and hydrographic surveys, and preparing for internal oil transfer operations to reduce spillage. The procedures are being carried out gradually based on risk assessment and safety considerations, relying on aerial transportation of equipment and experts to ensure the protection of the marine environment and the safety of the participating teams.
