SE authorities are doing an inventory of which SE ports are able to unload fertilizer/bomb-ship RUBY.
Landskrona port of south Sweden have offered a ship to ship solution, ie away from populations.
Atm RUBY has no way to unload her 20k tons of NH4NO3, hence she is stationary.

Pure guess work, but a ship to ship transfer would likely take place somewhere in Kattegatt, where it can happen in relatively calmer waters.

Since midnight RUBY has drifted 7 NMi to northeast while her tug has been driving around very slowly.
Aside from a Turkish warship (greenish track) passing closely last night nothing exciting is found in AIS-replays.
NO coast guard is there since last night, but 30 NMi away.

RUBY is allegedly scheduled for repairs in Klapedia, Lithuania, but she wont dock there with cargo according to LT prime minister.
Hence she is drifting at the entrance of Skagerak.

Sveriges Radio (public service news) further report MSB (emergency authorities) deem RUBY "just as dangerous as any other fertilizer-freighter" and Coast Guard says "RUBY has not requested refuge, is not in any emergency and seem seaworthy"
