Tugs are holding the container ship MSC Napoli steady in Branscombe Bay while a decision is made about her future

Tugs are holding the container ship MSC Napoli steady in Branscombe Bay while a decision is made about her future. The 62,000-ton vessel was successfully refloated yesterday morning after being aground since January.

Divers are carrying out an underwater inspection of her hull, concentrating on an area that is believed to have suffered some cracking. Naval architects will use the results to establish the remaining strength in that area.
