Time to worry is if the crew abandon ship in a hurry.

Will they claim asylum.

I feel a re-run of whiskey galore on the cards, but with ammonium nitrate…. . I don’t think that ship is the biggest problem out there, the Montgomery has 1400T of unstable explosives just a mile or so off shore.

Yet another classic British case of "Let's kick the ball down the road..." rather than taking the bull by the horns. Heck, even taking the masts down has turned into a pantomime farce!

To be fair that’s not just a British trait, such sweep it under the carpet legacies are commonplace!

Can’t we find a boat or sumat to go pull it to shore or maybe a long cable and a big tractor or 2, then unload it, how hard can it be?

Remember we’re farmers the masters of ingenuity.

It’ll soon move again when fert price goes up

If it was fragmented onto farms it would be safe again

Course if the Russians wanted to get revenge for UK missiles entering Russia the possibility of a boat load of fertiliser accidentally exploding just off the coast might be a useful tool to influence the UK government.

What do they do to it to get it to go pop?

Not going to put on here how to make a bomb otherwise there's likely to be a knock on the door.
