That ship left Batumi but did not reach to its destination which was Africa because in this ship there was many problems as it was too old and also Igor didn't gave full payment to the crew of that ship and it was also said that the crew didn't even had money for food. Sip was stopped at Greece to fill the fuel tank there and from there they have to pass Swayze river to reach Africa but to pass the Swayze river every ship have to pay tax like toll tax. And when the crew call the Igor for the money of tax then Igor refused to pay it but he gave an advice to them that they should have to move their ship toward Beirut of Lebanon from where they can also carry more cargo in their ship of which they will also get some money. So there was only way for the crew and the move toward Beirut of Lebanon in November 2013. They arrive there but the Beirut harbour workers inspects the ship in which they found that the ship was not able to travel because it was old and weak and they seized this ship and also imprisoned the captain with other nine crew members and after some time they leave the six crew members but four crew members along with captain was still imprisoned and they have to stay there until they have paid all the taxes in the port. Captain was the citizen of Russia and he try to get help from Russian Embassy in Lebanon but they also refused to help them.
After this, all of them were imprisoned in Beirut for 10 months. And the captain also sent several letters to the Russian president, in which he wrote that the ship is filled with a dangerous chemical, which could also cause a major explosion but none of reply come from Russia. So in last captain sell some of fuel of their ship with which they hired a Lawyer and in August 2014 a court ordered to release them and they all went to their homes but the ship was there which was filled with 2750 Tonnes of Ammonium Nitrate. Many safety departments wrote many letters about this that it is very dangerous to Lebanon judiciary as what should they have to done with it. Custom department said it should be claimed by their army or scientists but no one hear them. It was often said that it would be auctioned but Hizbullah was also interested in this and Hizbullah is accused of many countries like Britain and Germany as that they used this chemical in the incidents that took place in their countries. So for this they didn't auctioned it because they thought that it may not reach to wrong hands.
