The Ministers called on the UN Environment Program and International Marine Organization (IMO) to keep on espousing the efforts of the Regional Commission for Perserving the Environment of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden through devising an emergency action-plan to deal with the negative impacts in case that oil spill of Safer oil tanker.
