3:35Now PlayingA damaged Russian-operated ship carrying 20,000 tonnes of explosive cargo is floating close to the Kent coast.
Alarmingly, the boat - reported to have sustained damage to both its rudder and hull - is carrying seven times the amount of ammonium nitrate that caused the catastrophic explosion in Beirut, Lebanon, in 2020.
The damaged cargo ship which Maltese-flagged, loaded with the highly explosive ammonium nitrate, has "anchored" off the Kent coast, it is reportedly seeking a port in which to dock to undergo repairs.
Of further concern is the ship's current proximity to the World War II wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery, which contains approximately 1,400 tonnes of unexploded ordnance.
