Title: Burning Container ship
Post by: stantheman on December 28, 2012, 03:58:27 PM
Can anybody tell me what happened to that burning container ship that was towed around the North Atlantic for most of July 2012? Last i heard was that she was in a German port but nothing since. ;D

Ship is still in Wilhelmshaven, cargo is completely discharged but there is no permission from the Government to be towed to a Romanian or Chinese repair yard, too much contaminated water and scrap is still on board.

Has the investigation determined what was the cause of the fire?
