Syria-Bound Ship Suspected of Carrying Weapons Manifests Civilian-Purpose Explosives

Captain of a German-owned vessel which docked on a port in southern Turkey for security search on suspicions that it carried weapons to Syria has said the ship’s cargo included “civilian-purpose explosives and equipment for a coal plant project.”

A team with the Turkish gendarmery was searching the Antigua & Barbuda-flagged Atlantic Cruiser for suspected weapons, munitions and military equipment.

The ship’s Ukrainian captain presented the cargo manifest which included 313 tons on civilian-purpose explosives, fuse and capsules destined for six different Turkish receivers as well as a separate pack of 31-ton civilian-purpose explosives headed for Croatia. The list also shows the ship carried 68 tons of oil-refinery equipment for Russia as well as 945 tons of parts of a coal plant project bound for Syria’s Tartus port.
