Caroline Bezengi

A British company, Ambrey, has been hired to salvage the grounded Russian tanker Caroline Bezengi off Oman's coast and stop an oil spill threatening a marine protected area. The vessel was grounded near Qabiliyah Island following an explosion of unclear cause, and satellite images show the oil has spread exponentially over hundreds of square kilometers. Authorities confirmed the spill has reached Ras Madrakah and may continue spreading toward Masirah Island.

An oil spill from a UK-sanctioned grounded tanker off Oman has expanded to 150 square kilometers, affecting Qibliyah Island and the Arabian Sea marine protected area. Satellite images show a drastic increase from 20 square kilometers a week earlier, with the tanker suspected of carrying over 800,000 barrels of crude oil.

Satellite images reveal an oil leak spreading from the sanctioned Cameroon-flagged tanker Caroline Bezengi near Oman's Hallaniyat Islands, with experts warning the vessel could break apart during the monsoon season, risking a larger spill in a protected marine reserve. The tanker, part of Russia's 'shadow fleet' and carrying over 800,000 barrels of crude, has been stranded since June after an onboard explosion.

Crude oil is leaking from the sanctioned Suezmax tanker Caroline Bezengi, grounded off Oman's Qibliyah Island, spreading an oil sheen over 20 square kilometers.
