Two sailors were killed and three injured after an explosion in the hold on 14 July, when the ship was inward bound from Charleston, South Carolina, for Antwerp, Felixstowe and Bremerhaven. The German, Polish and Filipino crew abandoned the ship 1,000 miles from Land's End. The representative for maritime salvage was appointed after MSC Napoli was stranded off Devon in 2007. Both Napoli and Flaminia were on charter to the Mediterranean Shipping Company in Switzerland. The German government has agreed to allow MSC Flaminia to be unloaded at an unused deep-water berth at the Jade-Weser-Port near Wilhelmshaven. But Mr Shaw said this week: "Until the coastal state inspection has taken place, and the results passed to the other coastal states en-route, the MSC Flaminia will not be given approval to proceed to Germany."
