The MV Ruby, carrying 20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, is anchored near the Kent coast and was recently refused entry into the Baltic Sea.
The Maltese Transport Ministry stated that the Russian-operate ship will only be permitted to dock if it empties its highly explosive cargo.
The 2020 explosion in Beirut, which resulted from just 2,700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by such materials.
