There is concern that a Venezuelan oil tanker sinking in waters off Trinidad and Tobago could be a threat to the entire Caribbean Sea.

Corporate Secretary of the group Fishermen and Friends of the Sea Gary Aboud is again calling for urgent State attention to be paid to the FSO Nabarima.

Mr. Aboud is warning of dire consequences if action is not taken soon.

Yesterday he said Venezuelan authorities are misleading the government of Trinidad and Tobago on the state of the sinking oil tanker.

He said he saw for himself that the vessel is tilting.

In a release on Friday the Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs said it along with the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries and the Ministry of National Security have been actively working on solutions to the Nabarima issue.
