Anchored off 3km off Margate at the entrance to the Thames is a Russian ship that ran aground earlier and has cracked her hull. Her cargo is ammonium nitrate, the same fertiliser that caused a massive explosion in Beruit harbour in 2020, except it is carrying 7 times as much. She has already been ordered to leave Tromso, Norway, but why has she not returned to Russia?
