MSC Napoli  – Latest Information

MSC Napoli - Situation Update 27/07/07

From the MSC Napoli Response Centre

The bow has been holding well at anchor. Salvers have been onboard and an emergency towing bridal has been rigged. Poor weather has delayed the possibility of further work. The intention is still to tow the vessel to a port for recycling and disposal.

Invitation to tender for disposal of the stern has been advertised. The condition of the stern is stable.

Yesterday's overflight reported a slight sheen coming from both sections. There was some sheen reported also off Beer Head. On shore, contractors are responding to oil at Seaton and emulsified oil at Branscombe. East Devon District Council is assisting with the beach clean up operation this weekend. In Dorset, Charmouth and West Bay have some oil which contractors are responding to.
