Oman is ramping up its efforts to contain the oil spill caused by the stranded ship Caroline Bezengi, which has been leaking oil over an area of more than 2,000 square kilometres, according to a statement from the country's Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology. The vessel ran into trouble near al-Qibliyyah Island off Oman’s Dhofar governorate following a suspected explosion on June 8, and has been struggling to contain the spill due to a lack of a reliable power source for rescue operations.
The ship's work areas have been rendered unsafe by the oil and seawater, further complicating the cleanup efforts.
