Official: UN has not submitted operational plan according to “Safer Oil Tanker” maintenance agreement

SANAA, April 10 (YPA) – The head of the Supervisory Committee for the Execution of the Urgent Maintenance Agreement and the Comprehensive Evaluation of the Floating Oil Tank Safer, Ibrahim Al-Sarji, confirmed that the United Nations had not submitted the operational plan stipulated in the memorandum of understanding, despite the lapse of more than a month since its signing.

Al-Sarji explained, in a statement, that the memorandum of understanding stipulated that the United Nations prepare an operational plan, in accordance with the contents of the memorandum, but that has not happened so far.

He pointed out that the delay in the delivery of the operational plan is not a positive indication of the commitment of the United Nations to what was agreed upon.

The head of the committee also stressed that the Safer reservoir is in a state of continuous deterioration that calls for expediting the implementation of commitments to prevent a potential disaster in the Red Sea.
