The damaged Russian LNG tanker Arctic Metagaz is now drifting approximately 35 km off the coast of Zuwara, and has become clearly visible from the shoreline. Local activists and residents have issued urgent warnings of a potential major environmental disaster if authorities fail to secure or tow the unmanned vessel soon, citing the risk of a catastrophic spill from its remaining cargo of around 62,000 tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and roughly 900 tonnes of diesel fuel.
