The cargo ship Rubeimar sank in the Red Sea on Saturday morning, and the Yemeni government announced the incident, which is the first such incident since the Houthi escalation in the region.
The Houthis targeted the ship last month, triggering an 18-mile oil spill in the Red Sea.
Information indicates that Robeimar is a Belize-flagged company operated by GMZ Ship Management in Lebanon, for a subsidiary of Golden Adventure Shipping S.A. in the United Kingdom.
Dating back to 1997, the ship is a huge cargo ship measuring 171 meters long and 27 meters wide.
The vessel carried a cargo of Class 5.1 high-risk fertilizers according to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) classification, an international guide for the transport of packaged dangerous products.
This category includes ammonium nitrate as well as products containing ammonium nitrate, which, according to the Lebanese authorities, was accumulated in large quantities and without preventive measures, led to the Beirut port explosion on August 4, 2020, which killed more than 220 people.
It was also reported that Robimar participated in the Black Sea Grain Initiative in 2022, transporting 35,000 tons of wheat from Ukraine to Egypt during the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
The oil spill in the Red Sea due to the Houthis’ targeting of the ship in February has raised fears of an environmental disaster and calls for preventive measures to reduce the environmental impacts resulting from maritime accidents.
