An alarming photo is making the rounds on the internet today showing an idled Floating Storage and Offshore (FSO) vessel containing tens of million of gallons of oil with a severe list off the coast of Venezuela, raising fears an environmental disaster.

The FSO Nabarima, which is anchored in the Gulf of Paria, is holding some 1.3 million barrels of crude oil.

The incident comes as another stranded offshore oil facility, named Safer, has been deteriorating in the Red Sea off Yemen since 2015, threatening to spill 1.1 million barrels of crude oil. A report earlier this week said a United Nations team was awaiting agreement with Yemen’s Houthis to access the vessel, but it was likely to be several weeks before any plan is finalized.

Are you saying there are ships whose work is just to stay in the seas with oil? What for?
I thought they are loaded to deliver to a certain destination.

Do you remember sometimes back when we ran out of maize and it had to be ordered from mehico then the ship took 48hrs to get here?
Same with oil.
There are floating storages in the oceans
You can call them floating warehouses
