Underwater volcano in the Caribbean Sea off Grenada could erupt any moment

An underwater volcano in the Caribbean Sea off Grenada is believed to be on the verge of erupting and poses a major risk to all passing ships because, once the volcano erupts, passing ships with vanish without any trace.
The name of the volcano is ‘Kick 'em Jenny it sits 180m below sea level off the northern coast of Grenada and has produced no less than 200 small earthquakes since it began stirring on July 11. Experts at the University of the West Indies' Seismic Research Centre have raised its threat level to orange, predicting that it could erupt at any point.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 25 July 2015.

In case if the volcano does erupt, then not only passing ships but, nearby islands will be in danger of being hit by a tsunami. In the opinion of scientists, the risk is relatively low, but as a precautionary measure, both shipping and marine vessels in the region have been cautioned. Recreational ships have been ordered to maintain a distance of at least 3 miles from the summit.
Eruption of ‘Kick 'em Jenny’ could see hot rocks shoot up to three miles into the air and, when that happens, they pose a significant risk to ships in the vicinity. As per history, in 1944, degassing from ‘Kick 'em Jenny’ had caused a passenger vessel to sink, killing 60 people.
The volcano had last erupted 14 years ago, in 2001.
