The sinking of a bulk carrier carrying thousands of tonnes of fertiliser off Yemen after a Huthi missile attack poses “no immediate danger”, an expert said Friday.
The Belize-flagged, Lebanese-operated Rubymar sank in the Red Sea on March 2 with 21,000 metric tonnes of ammonium phosphate sulfate fertiliser on board, according to US Central Command.
It had been taking in water since Yemen’s Huthi rebels hit it in a missile strike on February 18, damaging its hull and causing an oil slick from leaking fuel.
