As the vessel was refloated, its condition was discovered to be significantly worse than anticipated, and the vessel was subsequently re beached. The refloating operation did lead to a release of oil from the vessel and DV Howells Limited personnel responded to this. The latest sitrep as of 19 Jul 2007, DV Howells undertaking off shore booming around MSC Napoli.

The Industrial Services Division of DV Howells Limited was also contracted to undertake shoreline clean up operations in response to the spilled oil, a task carried out by them successfully following the initial grounding in January.

Both the Incident Response Division and Industrial Services Division are continuing with oil recovery operations to date.
