WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? The foundation said it was alarmed that Carnival and Costa Cruises had issued public statements and drawn conclusions publicly blaming the master without acknowledgement of the company’s responsibility or reference to the International Safety Management Code, before any investigation and maritime inquiry. Foschi, who said the firm was suing Captain Schettino and would not pay his legal fees! It is clear that Captain Schettino made a bad error and none of us wishes to end up in a situation like this. But isn’t it possible that Captain Schettino might also be a victim of COSTA’s “salut” marketing strategy? So many open points and questions!

MT Prestige was on her way from Latvia to Singapore on 13th November 2002 when she sprang a leak, probably caused by a rogue wave close to the Spanish coast. Water ingress into the starboard ballast tanks led to a heavy list of 24°, so that Captain Apostolos Mangouras had to flood the portside ballast tanks to stabilize the vessel. was towed back to the open sea, where she was still exposed to the stormy weather Finally, on 19th November 2002 the hull burst open and the Prestige sank 166 nm off the Spanish coast. All in all 64,000 tonnes of oil spilled out into the sea and led to the biggest environmental disaster in Spanish history.

And following this incident, Jordanian Captain Arkan Abdul Younis and Romanian Chief Engineer Ioneseau Ion, were arrested by the Indian Coast Guard. Captain and Chief Engineer of sunken MV Rak Carrier arrested Due to the dramatic situation around the coasts of west and east Africa, piracy has been the centre of attention over the last years and has mostly replaced “criminalisation of seafarers“ in the media.
