Salvage crews race to curb oil spill from tanker off Oman

Ambrey-led salvage teams began stabilising the tanker Caroline Bezengi after a June explosion, as crude leakage threatens Oman’s central coast. The operation involves international partners and faces Khareef monsoon conditions; the IMO is monitoring the response, Greenpeace estimates the spill has grown to about 1,300 sq km, and authorities say the incident may be war-related, affecting compensation mechanisms.
