The alternative oil ship arrives at Safer to withdraw the stuck million barrels. Eye of the South, Aden [caption id="attachment_1307" align="alignnone" width="300"] The alternative oil ship arrives at Safer to withdraw the stuck million barrels.[/caption] The United Nations reported that the Yemen ship, formerly known as "Nautica", arrived at the site of the dilapidated Safer ship, off the Ras Issa oil coast in Al Hudaydah Governorate, to begin the process of withdrawing oil estimated at more than one million barrels. The Administrator of the United Nations Development Program, Achim Steiner, stated on his Twitter account that the work team on board the Yemen ship had prepared the necessary flaps to tow the replacement ship safely to the site of the Safer ship, and that the pumping process would begin soon. The process of withdrawing oil from Safer was scheduled to start earlier, but the Houthi militia imposed obstacles and conditions, due to which the process was postponed to the coming days. The Safer ship was used as one of the blackmail cards that the Houthi militia exploits to achieve political and economic gains, as it refused for years to abide by its commitments to the United Nations and refused to allow a UN technical team to access the dilapidated ship, and blackmailed the international community to control the quantities of crude oil in the ship's tanks. Iranian-backed militias took advantage of the arrival of the replacement ship "Nautica" at the site of the Safer ship on Sunday, to place demands on the United Nations and pressure to achieve its interests, and imposed surprising conditions to allow the completion of the rescue operation. As a result, the oil withdrawal process was postponed until next week, after the Houthi militia forced the replacement ship to stay in the port of Hodeidah for several days, and seized its ownership. The Yemeni government, which is internationally recognized, has not issued any comment regarding compliance with the requirements of the Houthi militia and its acquisition of ownership of the replacement ship.
