The FSO Nabarima [1]: > is a floating storage and offloading vessel permanently moored offshore of Venezuela at the Corocoro oil field in the Gulf of Paria. After production at Corocoro ceased in 2019 following United States sanctions on Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), Nabarima fell into a state of disrepair, and was reported in 2020 to be at risk of spilling her cargo of about 1.3 million barrels of crude oil. > Following the Corocoro shutdown, Nabarima was abandoned with about 1.3 million barrels of crude aboard, and in July 2020 began listing to starboard, followed by a leak into her engine room the following month that failed bilge pumps were unable to pump out. The YouTube video maker/poster seems to be jumping to conclusions, much as HN commenters did with the Kamchatka Eco-Disaster.
