An operation to transfer 150,000 tonnes of crude oil from the Houthi-hit Greek-flagged tanker Sounion is underway in the Port of Suez. The tanker, which has been ablaze for seven weeks following a drone attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, is being transferred to the Delta Blue tanker using portable equipment. The operation, which began Thursday, is expected to take three to four weeks and involves a crew aboard the tugboat Aigaion Pelagos. Efforts to secure the ship and mitigate further risks continue after the vessel suffered significant structural damage.
