A Turkish-flagged ship suspected of carrying 2,100 tons of hazardous waste has finally docked at Albania's main port after being rejected by Thailand.
The ship had spent several months at sea before returning to Albania, where authorities have ordered an inspection of its cargo. The ship's contents are suspected to be toxic, and prosecutors are overseeing the investigation to determine the nature of the waste.
The incident raises concerns about the handling and disposal of hazardous materials in international waters.
