Lebanese authorities signed a contract with German company CombiLift Friday to dispose and transport all hazardous materials stored in the Beirut port.
The materials were discovered following the 'nuclear-style' blast which killed more than 200, injured thousands and destroyed neighborhoods, only to find out they have been stored in the port for over a decade.
The containers had been under supervision of the General Directorate of Customs since 2009. Its existence arose nearly a month after the Aug. 4 explosion, which authorities attributed to the detonation of huge quantities of ammonium nitrate.
The three month contract entails CombiLift to remove all flammable and highly-reactive chemical materials from 49 containers at the port, which caused the mushroom cloud chemical explosion, said the Lebanese caretaker PM Hassan Diab??s office to Reuters.

Sources said workers of the unit were burning waste material inside the unit when flames caught an inflammable chemical, which was inside the unit. The fire was controlled before the arrival of a fire tender. The unit was manufacturing cosmetic products.
The incident agitated the local residents of Defence Colony, who have been pressing the district administration to shift the units out of the residential area. They said that there is a risk to human lives.
Additional SHO of Panjhokra Sahib police station, SI Ramesh Kumar, said, ??Preliminary investigation suggested that a chemical stored in the unit was the reason behind the fire. The owner of the industrial unit was called to the police station along with local residents. The owner agreed to shift the unit within two months.
