Aden - Saba
Minister of Transport, Dr. Abdul Salam Humaid said, "The United Nations announcement on completing the unloading of more than one million barrels of crude oil from the decaying oil tanker to a replacement ship, the United Nations has achieved a great achievement to protect the Yemeni territorial waters, in joint efforts with Yemeni government and its competent institutions.

The Minister of Transport added, in a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), "With the unloading of SAFER, the country and the countries bordering the Red Sea have rid of a nightmare that has been haunting the Yemeni people, the region and the world" referring to 9 years of Houthi intransigence and growing concern among those in charge of protecting the environment as the Houthi militia rejected any interventions to repair the tanker, which was like a time bomb whose dangers extend about 275 nautical miles from the Midi region in the north to Mayon in the south.
