On the abovementioned date, at 15:00, a committee from the Ministry of Environment accessed the premises of the Beirut port through entrance no. 3. The committee, composed of Ali Sabra, Cindy Ardoud, Bilal Ismail and Najat Jirjis, was there to inspect the site where the commercial ship Rhosus sank – facing dock number 8 – because diesel was leaking from its tanks. [The inspection was performed] using a Civil Defense speedboat and [the committee] was accompanied by a member of the [Military] Intelligence at the port, General Security’s Investigations Section, and Lieutenant Mohammad Assaf of the Lebanese Army’s Naval Forces. The committee will submit a separate report to the Minister of Environment stating that the ship should be pulled out so it does not cause further water pollution.
