Shipping West Germany

The West German ship Petersberg has cruised the Black Sea for four weeks searching for a port after Romania warned neighboring states that the ship carried highly radioactive cargo, the newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung said Sunday. The newspaper said it had learned in Bucharest that diplomats of at least four nations were attempting to resolve the dilemma. The paper said the ship's manifest described the cargo as slightly contaminated building rubble.
