PYA NEWSFLASH - GENOA GLOWING
GENOA GLOWING
According to stories circulating in the shipping circles, there's a bit of a problem at Genoa's Voltri container port.
It seems that a container, which arrived last July from Adjaman via Jeddah and Gioia Tauro, was found, during the course of routine checking, to be highly radioactive and has now been surrounded by a barricade of containers filled with stones and water.
The container was consigned to an address in Italy and was said to contain 18 tonnes of copper waste.
The authorities have yet not announced any plans to deal with the problem. There is speculation that the container was tampered with while in transit and that it could contain a bomb designed to explode when the container is opened.
Strangely, none of the "mainstream" media have picked up this story.
