REFILE - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Danish Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard speaks to media in front of containers, carrying precursors to sarin gas, part of the effort to extract chemical weapon stockpiles from Syria, on the vessel Ark Futura a Danish cargo ship docked in international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea May 13, 2014. MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company denies ownership of the containers seen here and also denies any involvement in this effort. Journalists were given access for the first time to the vessel, which is sailing in international waters south-east of Cyprus awaiting the pick-up of more chemicals from Latakia under an international accord to destroy Damascus' chemical stockpile. Denmark, providing one of two container vessels taking delivery of Syrian chemical weapons for destruction, urged Damascus to expedite the process and said it could not wait beyond a June 30 deadline.
