Grimaldi’s Grande America sinks off France




The fire stricken Italian ship, MV Grande America, owned by the Grimaldi Group, has sunk in the Bay of Biscay in water depth of 4,600 meters off the coast of France.
According to France’s Marine Nationale, the ship, a container-roro carrier, sank on Tuesday at 1526 local time about 180 nautical miles off the French coast.
Fire broke out on the Grande America on Sunday night as the ship was underway in the Bay of Biscay during a voyage from Hamburg, Germany to Casablanca, Morocco. The fire was primarily located in cargo containers in the forward portion of the ship. Several containers fell off the ship into the water while it was burning before it eventually sank on Tuesday afternoon.
All 27 crew members abandoned ship in a lifeboat and later rescued by British frigate HMS Argyll and were taken ashore to the French port of Brest.
No major injuries were reported, although several of the crew members were treated for smoke inhalation.
The 213-meter, 27,965 dwt Grande America was built in 1997.It was carrying 2000 cars and 365 containers bound for Lagos, Nigeria

Depending on what was declared. In consolidated containers, values are vague
This is true, but Grimaldi is reputable,Don't 4get, this is not act of God as per Insurance definition.If ur car is salvaged it's very easy to get the true value of sale as you will have that intact at shipment point.

OP, you're a bloody shameless liar.

That ship wasn't coming to Nigeria, had no cargo destined for Nigeria or planned to come here.

Nothing affected any Nigerian in that wreck.
please read the last paragraph and apologise to the OP.
Some people should know that there are shipping routes which a ship must follow .
It is for it's safety and protection.
Inability to follow a route is a first sign that there is trouble .( piracy issues).
So it is not improbable that a ship whose final destination is Lagos should first head for Casablanca, Dakar before Lagos .
It might also involve dropping cargo, taking in supplies , or general flensing.

The true situation on ground is that nobody ships empty cars. The good inside is usually worth more. That is the real loss.

Lie lie Op.. Useless bloggers.. Just decided to read more about the ship and here's what's obtainable from Wikipedia. Worthy of note is that the ship wasn't bound for Nigeria but rather was heading to Brazil.

Cc. Mynd44, Lalasticlala Please modify the topic and correct the Op's false destination

Ok. Maybe you did for personal use. Do you know that is very difficult to make profit from just cars? The profit is in goods. Do you know that when people ship cars to customers they take advantage to ship other goods along with it.
To answer the second part of your question. When you ship your cars loaded with goods inside a container, wharf rat cannot open the container. Only during inspection would it be opened and your agent would be there.
