Explosively loaded ship
Ruby at anchor - monitored by UK Coastguard
The MV Ruby is currently in the North Sea off the English coast. The British Coast Guard is monitoring the vessel, several media reports.
The Ruby, loaded with 20,000 tonnes of explosive ammonium nitrate, is currently at anchor off Margate in Kent. She is awaiting the right weather conditions to be able to refuel at sea to continue her journey through the English Channel and British territorial waters, the coastguard told the BBC.
After Ruby, which has damage to her hull, propellers and rudders, was refused entry to the port of Klaipeda, Lithuania, it was thought she would continue to Malta for repairs. But now the Maltese authorities have also refused Ruby, unless she first unloads her cargo at sea.
