Bulk carrier with hazardous waste detained in Buchanan
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has detained the 'SSI Dauntless', carrying about 200 metric tons of gypsum, a potentially hazardous waste, at the Port of Buchanan. The material can be used in producing cement but can also be radioactive and if the activity (concentration) of the radionuclide is high can pose a very high health risk to the population near the disposal site. The vessel which docked at the port on Sep 9, 2021, to load ArcelorMittal ores in the port, had arrived from Lome. It intended to dispose of the hazardous waste in Grand Bassa. The EPA in collaboration with its international counterparts had been tracking the vessel before its arrival in Buchanan.
