    Important info regarding the chemicals onboard, emphasis mine:

    The 74,000 deadweight-tons capacity panamax tanker Hafnia Nile was carrying about 300,000 barrels of naphtha, according to ship-tracking data from Kpler and LSEG.

    The Ceres I is a very large crude carrier supertanker, which ship-tracking data last showed was carrying around 2 million barrels of Iranian crude.

      That was my thought hearing it on the radio in the car.

      “All members have been rescued safely.”

      “Yesofcourseobviously- but what the fuck was on the ships and what’s being done about it so far?”

      Isn’t it sad that we’re in such a time of advanced survival opportunity, that we’re still focused on, “What about the humans?!”

        I believe the plan is once the necessary preparations are made they’ll be able to secure the ships safely to tugs and tow them outside the environment.
