Speed of Rust is an eco-thriller that tells one of the most hopeful stories yet…
Our latest WaterBear Original shows what could have happened to the abandoned FSO Safer oil tanker, carrying 1.1 barrels of oil, discarded off the coast of Yemen. This real-life event not only highlights the risks of oil spills, but it also underscores the global issue of rusting, abandoned ships that threaten our environment.
The story of the Safer poses the question of who should be held accountable for the end of life of ships.
Organisations such as Greenpeace and NGO Shipbreaking Platform have urged policymakers and industry leaders to take action and demonstrate their commitment to safe and responsible ship recycling. Civil society came together to prevent an environmental catastrophe by removing the oil from the Safer, but more still needs to be done to ensure discarded ships don’t kill people or pollute the environment.
Join us in raising awareness and pushing for solutions. Read more about the FSO Safer and what steps can be taken to prevent future disasters.
