From Zero Hedge:
"UK-registered company Savaro Ltd was found liable by London's High Court of Justice for the Beirut Port blast. According to court documents, Savaro was transporting the ammonium nitrate to an explosives company in Mozambique in 2013 before the cargo was impounded at Beirut's port over a dispute over unpaid transportation fees and the seaworthiness of the vessel transporting it.

The British ruling says Savaro remained the legal owner of the ammonium nitrate and was responsible for its proper storage and any damage caused by it. The ruling also argues that abandoning the dangerous chemicals in Beirut did not absolve the company of any duty of care.

Savaro – a shell company with few employees and no actual activities – has been trying to obtain its dissolution from the UK corporate registry Companies House since 2021, reportedly to evade responsibility for the tragedy. Last year, several of the victims’ families filed a $250 million lawsuit against the US–Norwegian firm TGS suspected of being involved in transferring the explosive material to the port."
