The ship carrying hundreds of tonnes of possibly toxic industrial waste that returned to Albania's largest seaport of Durres on Monday continues to be in the sea. 

The Turkish-flagged Moliva container ship, believed to be carrying around a hundred containers filled with suspicious waste, was expected to be tested by Albanian authorities, but so far nothing was taken. 

"The ship is anchored in Durres about one kilometre from the port," Jim Puckett, director of the Basel Action Network (BAN) a non-governmental organisation that combats the export of toxic waste to developing countries, told AFP on Monday.

The Port Authority has not yet allowed them to enter the port. The prosecutor's office seized on Monday the load of 102 containers, in the wake of the investigations started two months ago, while members of the government affirmed today in the Assembly that the country and the appropriate infrastructure are being prepared for their unloading and safe storage. The waste was returned to its place of origin after 4 months, while the Basel Action Network BAN raised the alarm about the material, which it said contained toxic dust from the chimneys of metallurgical factories.
