Unions are warnings of an imminent environmental disaster off Venezuela as a PDVSA-operated floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessel takes on water.

The 208,000-dwt Nabarima (built 2005) has 1.3m barrels of crude on board in the Gulf of Paria.

Eudis Girot, an oil workers' union leader, posted photos from inside the vessel on Twitter (see below).
