According to salvage experts on site, the fire onboard MSC FLAMINIA is under control since yesterday afternoon.

The tugboat ANGLIAN SOVEREIGN is constantly monitoring temperatures onboard the vessel via a laser thermometer and is ready to resume cooling if necessary.

Due to thick fog the salvage team is currently unable to board MSC FLAMINIA.

As soon as visibility improves, a salvage team will go onboard to check each container individually and extinguish any discovered fires.

Only after this procedure MSC FLAMINIA will receive the permission to make a port call. It is currently not concluded which port the vessel will call next as this is still under review.

MSC FLAMINIA is still towed by FAIRMOUNT EXPEDITION, with ANGLIAN SOVEREIGN und CARLO MAGNO on standby.

The group sails at a speed of 5kn towards Europe and is currently situated 320 nautical miles off the coast of the UK. The vessel still lists by approximately 10 degrees due to damaged cargo and extinguishing water.
