As of Tuesday, that ship, which can be tracked online, is near a Korean island, Jeju, near the waters between South Korea and Japan. The garbage is expected to reach Vancouver by the end of June, said Kim, where it will be transferred to a waste energy plant. Earlier this year, Duterte threatened to declare war on Canada if it didn’t take out the garbage. The smaller ship, the Bavaria, arrived back at port in Manila on Monday, carrying different cargo. Kim said her department had responded to The Rebel’s request on Monday evening, clarifying that the trash was on its way.
