Press release n\u00b04 – 9:15 a.m.
\nUpdate – November 27, 2025, 12:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

Last minute news and latest twist<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The Spiridon II<\/i> was expected to return to Montevideo in mid-December with her cargo of suffering heifers, and her route towards the Strait of Gibraltar from T\u00fcrkiye confirmed this. But from 5:27 p.m. on November 18 (4:27 p.m. UTC), the Spiridon II<\/i> was no longer responding. A certain mystery was surrounding her route. In fact, after last-minute negotiations with Libya, the Spiridon II<\/i> turned back after passing Sicily and headed for Benghazi, Libya. She arrived at the port on Saturday November 22 at 12:58 p.m. (11:58 a.m. UTC) as Robin des Bois had announced.<\/a> Libya is not a regular customer of Uruguay. It sources livestock and meat from Spain and other European countries, including France. The damned Spiridon II<\/i> is well known in the livestock port of S\u00e8te (France).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nUpdate – November 27, 2025, 12:30 a.m.<\/strong> Announced for Alexandria, Egypt, the Spiridon II<\/i> has changed course again. She is now heading for Beirut, Lebanon, and is scheduled to arrive today at 1:33 p.m. (12:33 p.m. UTC).<\/div>\n
