“Floating bomb”. A ship with dangerous cargo from the Russian Federation entered the English Channel

A cargo ship with 20,000 tons of explosive cargo is in the English Channel. Several ports have already denied him access to the dock.

RBK-Ukraine reports this with reference to BFM TV.

The Maltese cargo ship MV Ruby, which is carrying 20,000 tons of a potentially explosive product, ammonium nitrate, is currently floating in the English Channel after several ports denied it access to the dock. The reason was the damage it suffered during the transportation of explosive cargo.

Having suffered a series of damages, the ship is causing concern to the authorities of various countries, as well as individual experts. It is known that the ship, which belongs to a Maltese company, carries Russian cargo of ammonium nitrate.

Leaving the Russian city of Kandalaksha on August 22, the ship ran into a strong storm and was forced to stop in a Norwegian port.

However, according to the Center for European Policy Analysis, the cargo ship was ordered to leave the port on September 4. He then asked to dock in Lithuania, but the country refused.

Why ports refuse

Although ammonium nitrate is regularly used as a fertilizer, it is also used in the manufacture of explosives substances.

“Ammonium nitrate is extremely explosive, especially when exposed to fire or pollution,” the Center for European Policy Analysis emphasizes.

At the same time, an industrial risk management specialist also mentioned the danger of this cargo. Paul Poulin.

“It's a floating bomb… In my opinion, it's a safety threat to the sea and to the coastal population, to minimize the risk we're going to have to consider pumping small amounts of ammonium nitrate onto small boats,” said he.
