Napoli Wreck Experience Shared

Emergency planners from across Europe were in Devon to learn how the county dealt with the stricken MSC Napoli after it was grounded in Lyme Bay.
Experts visited Branscombe Beach to see the salvage operation and the attempts to limit pollution.
The visit was part of a conference organised in Exeter by the Assembly of European Regions and hosted by Devon County Council.
The event aimed to share best practice of how to deal with major emergencies.
It was attended by delegates from regional organisations in Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Albania, Turkey, Poland, the Netherlands, Romania and the UK.
Devon County Council's deputy leader councillor John Smith, who was the authority's representative at the Assembly, said the trip to Branscombe was a useful example to share.
MSC Napoli was grounded off Branscombe in January after her hull was damaged.
She was carrying more than 2,300 containers, of which 110 went overboard and 58 were washed ashore.
A team of divers were employed and an army of volunteers helped to clear the cargo and debris from the seabed on a daily basis.
The last cargo was removed from the ship on Thursday. A full risk assessment of the ship's structure will now being carried out.
Dutch salvers, Smit International, hope to refloat the vessel and tow it away.
