The vessel was transporting its cargo from Russia to the Canary Islands when it suffered damage. It was anchored off the coast of Kent while the owners negotiated a safe place to dock.
A damaged ship containing thousands of tonnes of potentially explosive fertiliser has docked at a port in Norfolk. The MV Ruby had originally loaded its ammonium nitrate cargo from Russia's northern town of Kandalaksha in late August and was headed to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands when it suffered damage, according to the Norwegian newspaper, The Barents Observer.
Richard Goffin, port director, confirmed they were transferring the cargo to another vessel. 'The Port of Great Yarmouth has the capability to handle hazardous materials and the discharge and transhipment of such materials and cargo is common practice across our port group. 'Our team is well-versed in implementing rigorous safety protocols and we strictly adhere to all UK safety regulations and international maritime standards.
