Hansa Brandenburg is a modern container vessel which was built in 2003 under full supervision of Leonhardt & Blumberg and provided with all necessary statutory certificates (e.g. free asbestos)...Independent laboratories in the UK have run extensive tests using samples of both the firefighting water and the debris of the burnt containers on board the Hansa Brandenburg. Results of these tests have confirmed that the levels are well beneath the European limits of hazardous waste.
