Second round of explosives might be needed to split MSC Napoli
The United Kingdom’s Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) said Wednesday that the operation to separate the deck plates of the MSC Napoli has been successful but two longitudinals remain intact preventing separation of the two halves.
Tugs were working Wednesday evening to flex the vessel structure to try and separate the ship. If unsuccessful, further cutting charges would be used on Friday.
In a separate matter, the MCA has appointed Capt. Nigel Palmer as non-executive director. Palmer brings 40 years of maritime experience to the board having served with the Merchant Navy and BP Shipping.
