The Finnish Transport Safety Agency has rescinded an impoundment order


Explosives in their original packaging materials have now been placed in containers. Officials confiscated around 1,000 kilos of poorly packaged explosives.

During an inspection carried out on Boxing Day, the agency gave the green light for releasing the vessel after determining that all poorly packaged explosives were off the ship.

However, the Manx flagged vessel cannot yet set sail as customs officials are keeping some of the explosives in dock. In addition, a travel ban still affects both the ship’s Ukranian captain and first mate pending an investigation into the explosives cargo.
Seems the Chinese will only get about 159,000 kilos of explosives !
