科特迪瓦阿比让港口当局告诉人们，一艘装载着2万吨硝酸铵的船只停泊在外港，不会对港口或城市构成危险。

Zimrida悬挂巴巴多斯国旗航行，由于其潜在的爆炸性货物，被许多港口拒之门外。

港口官员表示，该船符合所有安全要求，没有损坏，也符合国际海事法规。他们还补充说，已经采取了必要的预防措施来确保安全。

大约8000吨货物将在科特迪瓦卸货，之后该船将驶向安哥拉和坦桑尼亚。

当局提到，货物的主人已经获得了进口有争议的硝酸铵的所有国家文件，硝酸铵被用作农业肥料，但也可以用于***。



这艘船并不是第一艘发出警报的船。2020年，贝鲁特发生硝酸铵爆炸，造成220多人死亡，这表明了不当处理此类危险物质的风险。

尽管得到了当局的保证，但活动人士仍然对停泊在该城市的船只持批评态度，尤其是在其行程复杂的情况下。在获准进入阿比让之前，它被拒绝在包括立陶宛和英国在内的许多港口停靠。

Port Authorities in Abidjan, Ivory Coast told people that a ship loaded with 20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, moored in the outer harbour poses no danger to the port or the city.



Zimrida, sailing under the flag of Barbados, was turned away from many ports due to its potentially explosive cargo.



Port officials said that the vessel meets all safety requirements, is damage-free and also adheres to international maritime regulations.  They also added that necessary precautions have been taken to ensure safety.



Around 8000 tonnes of the cargo will be unloaded in the Ivory Coast, after which the ship will head towards Angola and Tanzania.



The authorities mentioned that the owner of the cargo had got all the state documents to import the controversial ammonium nitrate, which is used as an agricultural fertilizer but can also be used in explosives.



This ship is not the first which has raised an alarm.  In 2020, an ammonium nitrate blast in Beirut killed more than 220 people, showing the risks of mishandling such hazardous material.



Although assured by authorities, campaigners are still critical of the ship mooring in the city, especially when its journey has been complicated.  It was refused permission to berth from many ports, including Lithuania and the U.K, before it was allowed in Abidjan.
