RE: Transferring the material onboard of the ship “Rhosus” to hangar 12 in [Beirut] Port
Further to previous reports about the situation of the “Rhosus”, Ziad Shaaban, court clerk appointed by enforcement by HH Jad Maalouf, Urgent Matters Judge in Beirut, came to Beirut Port and went accompanied by Rabih Shamaay, customs expert, to hangar 12 to make sure that the cargo that was onboard the ship, 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate (Hazardous material used to blast rocks and to manufacture agricultural fertilizers), was unloaded.
An implementation report was prepared to prove that the material onboard of the Rhosus were transferred and Mr. Mohamad al-Mawla (harbor master) was appointed as the judicial guard of the mentioned cargo, noting that Mr. Mawla told the clerk tasked with the enforcement that the hangars are within the responsibility of the customs and the Gestion et Exploitation du Port de Beyrouth and that he does not have any authority over the hangars, and it is not possible to control the cargo inside them, so he signed the record with reservations.
