Oman Says Oil Spill From Grounded Tanker Near Coast Covers 400 Square km

Leaking crude oil from a tanker grounded off a nature reserve in Oman has created a slick covering almost ‌400 square kilometres, a size six-and-a-half times the land area of Manhattan, the country's government said on Monday. The Caroline Bezengi is loaded with close to one million barrels of Russian oil bound for Asia and first reported difficulties on June 8 off Yemen, with two maritime security sources saying initial assessments indicated a blast had occurred onboard. No party has taken responsibility for ​attacking the vessel.

Oman, in its first public disclosure on the environmental impact, said on Monday it was seeking to tackle ​the oil leak near the Hallaniyat Islands. 

Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tarik issued a royal decree last year creating ⁠a nature reserve around the islands, an area that is home to wildlife including Arabian Sea humpback whales and Socotra cormorants.

The oil ​slick covers some 390 square km (150 square miles), Oman's Environment Authority said in a statement carried by the state news agency, adding that ​there was no concern for facilities in the area including water desalination plants and tourist facilities.

Environmental group Greenpeace last week estimated the slick at around 600 square kilometres citing analysis of satellite imagery.
It extends northeast of the islands and is within an estimated seven kilometres of the coast, the authority said.

A spill of ​this scale requires dispersant be sprayed across the affected area by aircraft and the use of booms and other equipment to collect ​the oil before it reaches the shore or sinks to the sea floor, said Tony Gutierrez, professor of environmental microbiology and biotechnology at Edinburgh's Heriot-Watt University.

"If ‌this ⁠oil is kept offshore, the impact will be much less than if the oil reaches shallower waters and the actual coastline," he said, citing the impact on diverse marine life such as coral, birds and fish.

"You could find oil still there years later. And that's what happened with Exxon Valdez. Ten years down the line, there still were remnants of oil," he said, referring to a 1989 spill in Alaska.

An ​analysis by Reuters of satellite ​imagery and shipping specialists showed the ⁠spill from the stranded 274-metre (900-foot) tanker was still spreading at the end of last month, raising concern about possible environmental damage.

The Caroline Bezengi loaded at Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk in April and passed ​through the Suez Canal at the end of May, ship-tracking data shows.

The grounded tanker had previously been sanctioned by the UK and the European Union over its role in transporting Russian oil. It was last seen sailing under a false Cameroon flag, according to the Equasis maritime database. 

Built in 2001, it is ​part of the ⁠so-called shadow fleet of older oil tankers used by Russia which lack Western insurance cover and sail under the flags of various nations to obscure their true ownership. It was listed on public shipping databases as flying the Cameroon flag but was among 39 vessels de-listed from Cameroon’s ship registry ⁠in June. The ​ship is subject to sanctions imposed by the European Union, Ukraine, the UK, ​Canada and Switzerland.

It was unclear how the ship became stuck, but it was hauling about 1 million barrels of Russia’s Urals crude loaded in mid-May. Ukraine has repeatedly attacked ships carrying Russian oil. However, the vessel is further away from Russian waters than ships Ukraine has hit in the past.

Its registered owner is Rentoor Shipmanagement Ltd and its manager is Villar Shipmanagement Ltd, according to LSEG data. Reuters could not immediately reach those firms, which appear ​to be based in China.

Authorities are working to identify the sources of the leak, contain the environmental damage, secure the vessel and safely transfer its remaining oil cargo, the news report added. They’re also conducting aerial surveillance, subsea diving inspections and field surveys, using satellite imagery and environmental modeling to track the slick’s movement and forecast its drift.

$20 Million In Cocaine Found Beneath Floorboards Of Truck Trailer At California Border

By Phil Brink of FreightWaves,

Federal officers uncovered more than 1,000 pounds of cocaine concealed beneath floorboards on a commercial truck’s attached flatbed trailer. The truck arrived at California’s Calexico Port of Entry. Authorities estimated the recovered narcotics were worth more than $20 million. The shipment also included 269 bundles of rebar.

The driver, Jose Manuel Lopez Lopez, was the truck’s only occupant, according to federal prosecutors. Lopez, 44, entered the United States from Mexicali, Mexico. Officers arrested him after finding 366 packages within the trailer. The cocaine weighed 1,002.13 pounds, or 454.56 kilograms.

Inspectors find drugs beneath trailer floor

Customs and Border Protection officers X-rayed the attached flatbed during the border inspection. The scan showed anomalies in its wooden floorboards. A drug-sniffing dog then alerted officers to the equipment. Investigators unloaded the rebar before removing the planks.

Officers found packages stuffed beneath those boards, the U.S. Attorney’s Office reported. Homeland Security Investigations agents assisted the inquiry. Drug Enforcement Administration personnel also participated in the case. Prosecutors described the amount as “a tremendous amount of drugs, even by the standards of this district.”

The recovery marked the Southern District of California’s second-largest cocaine seizure during 2026. The larger May investigation began with a months-long task force inquiry into a supposed retail store near Otay Mesa. Agents later found a 1,933-foot cross-border tunnel stretching from Tijuana to the business. Authorities estimated the passage reached 55 feet deep and included reinforced walls, rails, ventilation and electricity.

Federal prosecutors charged four people after officers seized 1,029.60 kilograms of suspected cocaine, or 2,269.87 pounds. Authorities estimated that May recovery had a value of more than $45 million. Investigators found the tunnel’s exit beneath a storage-room floor at the Buy 4 Less store. A hydraulic lift concealed the access point, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Driver enters not-guilty plea

Lopez pleaded not guilty during his federal arraignment July 28. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lupe Rodriguez Jr. scheduled his detention hearing for Aug. 3 at 10 a.m. Court records list the matter as case number 26-mj-08705. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Paul Benjamin and Lawrence Casper are prosecuting the case.

Prosecutors charged Lopez with importing cocaine into the United States. The charge falls under Title 21, U.S. Code, Sections 952 and 960. It carries a mandatory minimum prison term of 10 years. A conviction could bring a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The California Homeland Security Task Force investigated and prosecuted the matter through Operation Take Back America. Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Drug Enforcement Administration handled the investigative work. The federal charge remains an accusation. Lopez is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Why it matters

Criminal organizations can use legitimate commercial equipment and ordinary cargo to conceal high-value contraband. Freight professionals should understand how a routine-looking shipment can carry risks beyond theft or fraud.
