Rubymar owners defy Houthi threats in final bid to save sinking bulker
Eight days after the Rubymar’s owners signed an LOF salvage contract, no tugs have been able to tow the vessel after the Houthis stated they will only allow a salvage operation to take place if humanitarian aid is sent to Gaza
The heavily damaged, listing and leaking bulker Rubymar will be towed to either Aden or Jeddah, regardless of Houthi threats to block operations. “If we don’t tow it now it will sink,” says ship’s chartering broker
