Ruby press release n°2
Sunday, October 27, 2024 – 16:00
Having left the port of Kandalakcha in the White Sea, east of Murmansk, on August 22, 2024 with around 20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertiliser, the Ruby is heading at a speed of 8 knots for an unknown destination. She is sailing north. She is “on order”, as the shipping industry puts it. Before taking off, the Ruby was refuelled by the small UK-flagged bunker tanker Fortuna III. The Ruby is currently accompanied by the tug CMS Thunderer, also UK-flagged.
