I am ot sure if any of the members here posted a thread about this mysterious's UAE ship fiasco peaked my interest.
The story of this ship was all over the news in the tiny desert North Western state of Somalia called SL, the ships demand for 80k cash upfront before the thousand struggling traders and port authority before unload begins was bizarre and unordinary in this trade.
After the local administration,courts and DP World who owned most of the merchandise the ship was transporting quickly interfered and tasked themselves to mediate all the parties.
During the court process the ship slams on orders from the court and the DP world for showing the ships Manifesto which turned the whole situation shady and complicated even more,
This was followed by the ship turning off their radar and taking off from Berbera port in the wee hours of yesterday morning and back to the Middle east.
Many people believe the ship made a quick stop in the Sanaag region where a stockpiles of weapons was unloaded for the Harakat Alshabaab.
The ship had a major effect on the import/export traders and is considered the reason the prices of construction equipment has tripled and created a inflation in the labor, this delay and episode has halted and a a completely shut down of all buildings under construction in the sixth federal state of Somalia.
