MSC FLAMINIA Crew Member Passed Away (Germany)

Reederei NSB informs the public that the badly injured Philippine seafarer of MSC FLAMINIA passed away on Sunday as a result of his wounds.

During the fire on board of MSC FLAMINIA the 41 – year – old received heavy burns which have been medicated in a specialty hospital for burn wounds in Portugal. Although it temporarily seemed that his condition improved he finally lost his life in the hospital due to his serious injuries.

The management and staff of Reederei NSB are deeply distraught that the tragic accident on board the MSC FLAMINIA claimed another victim. During the fire and subsequent explosion on July 14, 2012, which occurred during MSC FLAMINIA’s passage from Charleston/USA to Bremerhaven, one seafarer had died and one is still missing. The crew had abandoned the burning vessel and was rescued by an oil tanker and another container vessel.

The company expresses its deepest sympathy to the families of the two deceased and the missing seafarers.
