Houthi-Hit Tanker Successfully Unloads 150,000 Tons Of Crude Oil After 3 Months Of Attack

The Sounion tanker was damaged by the Houthi attack in August which left the tanker severely damaged and raised serious fears of a massive oil spill.

The MV Sounion was attacked on August 21, 2024, by Houthi rebels while it was travelling in the Red Sea near Yemen

Experts had warned that if the tanker had broken up or exploded, it could have caused an environmental disaster larger than the infamous Exxon Valdez spill in 1989.

The salvage operation began soon after the attack, with the crew of the Sounion evacuated safely. The Greek tanker company, Delta Tankers, sent another ship, the Delta Blue, to help transfer the oil.
