Wat we eerst wisten
- Salvors have been hired for the burning containership Espirito Santo Express. That is not the same as saying the ship has been secured. An October 19, 2026 casualty update records the appointment of SMIT, but the available information as of October 21 does not establish that a salvage team has reached the vessel, that towing has begun or that the fire is out.
