On March 1, 2013, the last tanker carrying extinguishing water 
from the MSC FLAMINIA has left Jade-Weser-Port towards 
Denmark. The departure of MSC FLAMINIA which was planned 
for Friday, March 8, 2013, has been postponed. 
Classification papers are present and the stability and security of 
the vessel has been confirmed by Germanischer Lloyd. 
Currently, REEDEREI NSB is only waiting for the confirmation of 
notification from Romania. 
A prediction regarding the departure of the vessel cannot be 
made at the present time. 
It is still planned that the vessel will sail to Romania on its own 
power. There, preparations have already been made to 
exchange the damaged center sections of MSC FLAMINIA at 
Daewoo shipyards Mangalia. The Daewoo shipyards in Mangalia 
are a subsidiary of the shipyard in Korea where MSC FLAMINIA 
was built. 
The travel time to Romania will be approximately ten days.

which occurred during MSC FLAMINIA’s passage from 
Charleston/USA to Bremerhaven, three seafarer have died. The 
crew had abandoned the burning vessel and was rescued by an
