Owner of the "Rubimar" Ship Aims to Tow It to Saudi Arabia

A company mediating the charter of the cargo ship "Rubimar" stated today, Monday, that "the owner of the ship, which was left in the southern Red Sea after being hit by a missile launched by the Houthis in Yemen last week, is looking to tow it to Saudi Arabia once the leak onboard is stopped." Roy Khoury, CEO of the Lebanon-based Blue Fleet group, told Reuters via email: "There was a minor fuel leak that we will try to control... so that we can safely tow the ship to Jeddah."
