Re: Follow-up and Information
Further to previous reports about the situation of the ship “Rhosus”, we learned that on 2024 at 8 AM, the ‘Compagnie d’Exploitation et de Gestion du Port de Beyrouth’ (CEGPB) started enforcing decision 429/2014 dated June 27, 2014, issued by HH Jad Maalouf, judge of Urgent Matters in Beirut, to float the ship that is the subject of the petition after moving the material onboard to an appropriate place to store it under its custody. The company unloaded 2,700 tons of nitrates, a hazardous substance used to blast rocks and produce agricultural fertilizers, directly from the ship docked in Quay 9 to Hangar 12 near the Quay. The quay was closed by the containers and all access points leading to [illegible] were closed.
A copy of the Judge’s decision is hereto attached.
