The Marine Traffic site says the MV Ruby is heading for Malta, but a spokesperson for the Maltese Transport Ministry said the Russian operated ship will not be allowed to dock with the highly explosive cargo on board.
They said in a statement, “The ship will only be allowed to port in Malta if it empties the cargo, if not, it will not be allowed to enter Maltese territorial waters.”
