The United Nations announced Thursday that it agreed to purchase a stranded vessel capable of carrying up to a million barrels of crude oil.
Achim Steiner, administrator of the U.N. Development Program, told a news conference that the deal was signed with Euronav, the world’s largest independent tanker company, to secure the purchase of a large crude carrier for the endeavor.
The double-hulled carrier, found "following an intense search on an extremely stressed global market," is expected to sail within the next month to Yemen's Red Sea waters and park alongside the FSO Safer, he said.
