Albanian officials say they are investigating how 800 tons of alleged hazardous industrial waste was shipped from its port without authorization, bound for Southeast Asia, as the suspect cargo is due to be sent back.
Meanwhile, an A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S vessel transporting some of the suspect cargo offloaded the containers in Singapore over the weekend, having initially sailed past the port before doubling back to dock in an unusual move. Some 40 containers that environmental groups allege carry toxic dust waste are set to be transferred Monday onto an MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA vessel that will ferry them back to Europe, according to MSC’s marine cargo tracking website.
