What are the immediate risks and consequences of the "Zimrida"'s arrival in Ivorian waters, given its cargo of ammonium nitrate and history of rejection by other countries?

The ship "Zimrida", carrying 20,000 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer from Russia, arrived off the coast of Abidjan on December 30th. A whistleblower, Jean Christian Konan, raised concerns about the potential danger, citing the cargo's instability and the ship's rejection by Malta and Lithuania. 3,000 tons are reportedly destined for Ivory Coast.
