Overview
The Caroline Bezengi tanker, part of the so-called Russian shadow fleet and carrying sanctioned crude, has been leaking oil since it ran aground off Oman after an unexplained attack in June. The spill has now reached Oman's coastline and spread around a nearby nature reserve, raising environmental concerns. In response, Ambrey has launched a major international salvage effort, deploying specialist personnel and equipment to stabilize the vessel and mitigate the rapidly expanding oil slick.
