Criminalisation of Seafarers

The M/S Costa Concordia case will be decided by the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation, Rome, on Thursday 20 April 2017.
The Master requests a new trial to show that he was innocent of any criminal matters. The contact with a rock was an accident and then they followed ISM procedures, etc, etc.
The public prosecutor requests the punishment to be 27 years in jail for the master.
The wreck is still in dry-dock at Genoa since September 2016! However, it cannot be inspected! The drydock is still full of water!
I have updated http://heiwaco.com/news8.htm with the latest info. The Master hasn’t given up to clear his name. I like that.
