The cargo of scrap metal has been removed by 'Big Foot' and boats from Titan Salvage.

The environmental group are concerned that there is a large difference in the weight of metal believed to have been on the New Flame and that arriving in Lisbon.
They are also calling for metallurgy and toxin tests to be done on the metal arriving in Portugal and a ban on it entering Spain from Portugal.
They are also calling on the EU to monitor the waters around the New Flame for pollution as it is salvaged.
