The 299 meter long container ship MSC Flaminia arrived at Wilhelmshaven, Germany.   After 57 days at sea, the fire-damaged container ship was escorted into the harbour by eight tugs and various government vessels.  Reports state that salvagers will be removing the 2,876 containers on board including several hundred that were destroyed by the fire.  The 680 tons of diesel fuel and 1240 tons of fuel oil will also be removed.    Authorities will conduct an investigation and begin a search for the missing crewman.
