The "British Ruby" has defied a boycott by unions in Argentina and docked at Bahia Blanca. On Feb 13, 2012, the Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers announced its workers wouldn't service British vessels, or ships belonging to what it calls 'convenience flags from the English pirates'. The move was announced as tensions grow between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands. But that hasn’t stopped the "British Ruby" landing a cargo of liquified natural gas at Bahia Blanca. She is delivering the third of five shipments from BP to Argentina. The vessel spent a day in the port while unloading the gas which will supply a local re-gasification plant run by YPF, an Argentine oil company.
