2015 - Savaro petitions Lebanese court to inspect cargo; local expert report estimates 1900 ripped and torn bags of one tonne each; no testing of contents
"In 2015, the owner of the cargo, the company Savaro, manifested itself and spoke through its lawyer, Joseph el-Qarah, to the court of summary proceedings. "In its request, Savaro Limited explained that it wanted to know the condition of its stock stored at the Beirut Port and whether it was still marketable. In fact, it said it would pay the storage fees at that time," said a judge court for summary proceedings, Nadim Zouein.
An expert, Mireille Moukarzel, was then commissioned and again noted the "terrible condition" of the goods, claiming that she was not to be able to count the bags as they were stacked on top of each other.
She also mentioned that nitrate crystals were escaping from some bags. "But nowhere in this report did she mention the dangerousness of the product or the storage conditions. There was no way to be alerted," the judge said.
In any case, the very poor condition of the goods convinced its owner of the uselessness of an additional recourse. "Savaro would no longer take legal action through me," said the lawyer el-Qarah."
