Ongoing Response to Karoline Pezengi Spill
The efforts of the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology continue to contain the oil spill from the "Caroline Pezengi," which is stranded on a rocky reef off Qaboos Island in Dhofar Governorate. These efforts are hampered by challenging weather conditions, including winds reaching up to 40 knots and waves about 4 meters high, which hinder the safe execution of marine operations. The ministry, in collaboration with international experts and specialized companies, is preparing materials and equipment for pollution control, such as barriers and chemical agents, and is providing a dedicated vessel to transport these supplies in an effort to reduce the amount of spilled oil and protect the environment. Additionally, technical options are being assessed, including transferring the oil internally to intact tanks within the ship, and maritime surveys are being conducted to identify safe routes for support vessels. The focus remains on ensuring the safety of the working teams and minimizing environmental risks, with the hope of improving sea conditions and carrying out transfer operations safely and efficiently.
