一艘6萬2千公噸的英籍貨輪18日行駛在英吉利海峽時，颶風所引起的強風使其失去了動力，貨輪在離康瓦耳海岸40哩遠處時，引擎室已遭海水淹沒。船員經搶救後並無大礙，為防止船隻沉入海中則已於21日移至淺攤。
至於從破裂油槽中溢出的200公噸石油，已波及鄰近區域，而此區域為世界遺產場址侏儸紀海岸(the Jurassic Coast)的一部份。這艘名為「MSC拿坡里」的貨輪裝載2300餘件貨櫃，其中有158件被歸類為有毒物質，政府當局對此感到憂心，有毒物質可能因貨櫃的破損而隨海水沖刷到海灘上。
民眾從昨日起已於得文島東部的海灘上尋找值錢物品，尋找過程中不僅踐踏私人財產並且帶來大型運載工具，延伸穿越了整個村莊，奪走的財物從鞋子、玩具，到BMW的摩托車都有。
英國海事及海岸警衛隊管理局(MCA)表示，「這些掠奪行動所造成的損失與意外本身相較之下，估計高達8倍之多。」
The 62,000 metric ton British-flagged ship lost power during a gale in the English Channel Thursday, when the engine room flooded more than 40 miles from the Cornish coast. After the crew was rescued unharmed, the ship was deliberately grounded Sunday to keep it from sinking.
About 200 metric tons of oil from the ship's ruptured fuel tank has spilled near an area which forms part of a the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The MSC Napoli was carrying 2,323 containers, 158 of which are classed as hazardous, and authorities fear hazardous materials may escape from broken containers washed up on the beach.
People scavaged East Devon beaches yesterday and today to pick through cargo from beached containers. They trampled over private property, and brought large vehicles and roughly constructed stretchers through villages to take away cargo ranging from shoes and toys to BMW motorbikes.
The Maritime And Coastguard Agency, MCA, says "these activities caused damage estimated to be 800 percent more significant than the damage caused by the incident itself."
