A floating storage and offloading unit off Venezuela has resumed stable operation following a recent water leak, according to Eni.

Unions earlier warned of an imminent environmental disaster in the Gulf of Paria as the 208,000-dwt Nabarima (built 2005) had 1.3m barrels of crude aboard.

“The conditions of the FSO are stable and a recent water leak has already been solved,” Eni — a minority shareholder in the FSO operator — said in an emailed statement.
