MSC Napoli  – Latest Information

MSC Napoli - Situation Update 03/07/07

From the MSC Napoli Response Centre

Further meetings are planned this week to discuss the removal of the wreck.

Despite adverse weather at the weekend, the vessel remains relatively stable, although some damage has occurred to the starboard side hatch cover to Number 7 Hold. This will be replaced, with preventative measures taken to avoid further damage.

Skimming is continuing as required in the engine room, passageway and holds.

Gas oil sheen was reported on Saturday by a member of the public at Littlecombe Shoot. This was investigated and the sheen was found to be dispersing naturally. There was no oil reaching the shoreline. There is no evidence to suggest that the oil came from the Napoli.

The dredger MANNIN, expected to help with the recovery of submerged items from the side of the vessel, has been temporarily weather bound in Dartmouth.
