Fire-fighting Experts Reboard 'MSC Flaminia' After Storm

'MSC Flaminia', fire still smouldering in No. 7 hold, boarded again after foul weather in UK Western Approaches. Thanks to improving weather conditions, a team of firefighting experts is able to board MSC FLAMINIA and continue the salvaging efforts today. Boarding had not been possible since July 30 2012. The current measures aim at inspecting areas which had not been accessible so far. Also, data is being collected to calculate and assess the stability of the vessel.
