MSC Flaminia has left the German deep-water port under its own power, bound for Romania where she will be overhauled by the DSME (Daewoo)- Mangalia shipyard.
THE severely damaged 6,732-TEU MSC Flaminia, whose cargo section was badly destroyed last July by a fire and finally towed to Wilhelmshaven, has left the German deep-water port under its own power, bound for Romania where she will be overhauled by the DSME (Daewoo)-Mangalia shipyard.
When the vessel which was stricken by fire in its holds and resulted in the death of two crewmen, it eventually obtained permission to dock in Germany. It has since secured permission to leave Germany for Romania and is expected to take 10 days, according to Alphaliner.
The MSC Flaminia, originally named the Conti Corono, was built in Korea by Daewoo in 2001 for Conti Reederei, and was chartered to MSC for 16 years. The costly sections (engine room, aft section and bow section) were not affected by the fire.
A new cargo section will be built and inserted at the place of the ruined section. The ship manager, Niederelbe Schiffahrt (NSB), and the shipyard estimate that the repairs will be completed by the end of September.
