Stolt-Nielsen's Stolt Tank Containers (STC) is considering its next move after saying it disagrees with a ruling in the US finding it liable for the fatal fire on MSC Flaminia.

STC told TradeWinds: "We were disappointed and disagree with the ruling that found fault for the casualty rested solely with our customer, Deltech, and us, Stolt Tank Containers, in our capacity as the shipper of record of the subject cargo of dangerous goods."
