Investigations were expected to have been completed by September, but Matsui said that “the time consuming nature of some of the analysis work” forced the team to revise its deadline to October. The investigation recently ruled out structural failure in the upper deck, as well as possible hatch side coaming.
After being sent back to the yard for hull strengthening, three of MOL Comfort's sisterships went back into service recently, leaving three still to be completed. MOL Charisma and MOL Competence are expected to be redelivered by the end of September/early October, while work on MOL Commitment, which was newly delivered in June, will be completed by February 2014.
