MSC Napoli  – Latest Information

MSC Napoli - Situation Update 08/08/07

From the MSC Napoli Response Centre

The MCA has confirmed that the bow section of the vessel is scheduled to be towed away from the World Heritage coastline off East Devon late tomorrow.

The bow of the container ship, which is currently moored off Sidmouth, is expected to be towed by a tug over a period of five days to the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast for recycling.

Contracts are under discussion for the final removal of the stern of the container ship, which is currently grounded on the seabed half a mile off of Sidmouth.
