Rotterdam, eh? Good thing it didn't get there. It seems that one way of dealing with toxic, poisonous or just plain dangerous cargo is to sick some pirates on it.

It came from China, was ahead of schedule by several days and is owned by the revolutionary guard. I don't think it's cargo was destined for either Eritrea or Rotterdam.
Small Wars Journal is reporting a rumour that the US Govt. has offered $7m for it's agents to inspect the ship. Russia is sending a warship to the area under urgency)
Dang. Sounds like something out of a Clive Cussler novel.
I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.
If it was anything important, like chemical weapons or the like, the Iranians would have at least posted a few guards on it.
The story sounds too good to be true.

Well if it just kills pirates and not the crew I think we have an answer to our problems, give some to every ship going through pirate infested waters and if the they get hijacked just sit back and wait

Sounds like radiation sickness to me...Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill “within days” of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died.
Perhaps it was some of that bad Chinese milk that got diverted there instead of the US.

I am inclined to agreeAndrew Mwangura, the director of the East African Seafarers’ Assistance Programme, told the Sunday Times: “We don’t know exactly how many, but the information that I am getting is that some of them had died. There is something very wrong about that ship.”
