FSO Nabarima "temporarily stable" ?
Unconfirmed reports were recieved by the FFOS that the FSO Nabarima is now "temporarily stable".
The FFOS maintain the need to transfer oil from the onboard storage given the comprised structural integrity of the vessel.
They are requesting:
1. The assembly of an Independent team of experts to verify and make public the vessels status , to propose a method of safely removing the 1.3M barrels of oil stored within and to advise of permanent repairs which are immediately required.
2. A unified Latin America and CARICOM effort to develop and implement a Regional Oil Spill Contingency Plan that will address situations like this which are inevitable due to the increase in oil exploration and extraction in the Region such as Guyana, Barbados and Bahamas.
We again call on the Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley to address these concerns with urgency.
