Denmark,
Authorities in Northern Europe are closely monitoring the bulk carrier “Ruby”, which is carrying 20,000 tons of ammonium nitrate—a dangerous cargo that has raised concerns due to its explosive potential. The ship arrived near Denmark on September 20, with plans to reach Klaipeda, Lithuania for repairs. However, the *Ruby*’s damaged hull and propulsion system have delayed its transit.
Danish and Swedish authorities are tracking the vessel and have imposed strict transit rules, including requiring a Danish pilot and a tug escort. The ship’s future remains uncertain as the managers work on offloading the hazardous cargo before entering Klaipeda.
