Mine? They'd use a local hazardous waste disposal company and bill the ship owners the cost of the disposal.

  Congratulations, you have the privilege of living in a functional society. Many people do not.

  You're obviously lucky enough to live in a country whose military is powerful enough and whose economy is large enough that they can enforce those bills (i.e. the ship owners would mind never doing business with you again).

  >bill the ship owners the cost of the disposal Would you like to know how I know you have no idea of what occurred up to this point? The captain and shiphands were arrested and put in jail. They were eventually released because the Russian owner of this ship abandoned them and had little to do with the actual problem that was occurring. They were never going to get any money from the owner. At this point they should have auctioned off the material to recuperate costs. No need for hazardous waste disposal, it is a useful economic product. Instead it was stored for six years, this was totally on the local government.

    Such a waste of a windfall. They confiscated a valuable farming additive that could have boosted domestic harvests for several (many?) years. It was dangerous to store so why not sell it to local farmers at cost (virtually nothing) and get it into the ground? Instead of a food shortage they could be enjoying a food surplus.
