The 'Atlantic Navigator II' has been held at Rostock, Germany's largest Baltic port, for weeks.
A cargo ship that was traveling from St. Petersburg, Russia, to the United States has been held at Rostock, Germany's largest Baltic port, for weeks after sanctioned Russian uranium and lumber was found on board.The Atlantic Navigator II, a 633-foot-long Marshall Islands-flagged vessel that departed from St. Petersburg was forced to call at the port on March 4 due to damage to its propeller, German newspaper Ostsee Zeitung reported on Thursday.
House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban imports of Russian uranium. In 2022, U.S. nuclear power plants imported about 12 percent of their uranium from Russia.An investigation has been launched and the cargo ship will remain in the port of Rostock pending its progress.'Due to EU-sanctioned goods onboard, the ship has received a detention order from customs. Leaving the port is therefore prohibited,' Falk Zachau, head of the Rostock port, told the newspaper.
