MSC Flaminia transiting English Channel. The main concern is the risk of contamination.September 4 early morning: MSC Flaminia and tugs transiting English Channel, see the map. A team of some 13 specialists are on board of MSC Flaminia, monitoring the situation and the condition of the vessel. The main concern of all the parties involved seems to be not the general condition of the vessel, which is sound enough, but environmental safety, i.e. the risk of possible sea and air contamination by the chemical and toxic materials. German Coast Guard ship Neuwerk is to join the convoy soon, with another team of specialists, including chemists and Task Force of experts from Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance Agency.
