A cargo ship with links to Russia packed with explosive fertiliser is floating off the Kent coast after being denied entry at other ports over safety fears.
Ruby, a Maltese-flagged cargo ship carrying 20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertiliser from a port in Russia, was ordered out of Tromso in Norway and turned away from Danish waters.
More alleged shenanigans with this craft drifting around the North Sea, ostensibly enroute to the Canaries.
The Danish media reported that it has the explosive potential of a first generation nuke.
Remember the Beirut explosion? Yeah, that
Remember the Beirut explosion?
Now realize that it was caused by around 1/10th as much ammonium nitrate that is on this ship (2750 vs 20000 tonnes)
yeah, you really don’t want that ship anywhere near people or infrastructure
if that was mixed with fuel, sure (15kt) but on its own should be a bit less (6.5kt)
