Although the vessel was on charter to a Greek company, ANEK, and operating on a route from Greece to Italy it was owned and registered in Italy, so not a 'Greek Ferry' in that the safety requirements were the responsibility of the Italian authorities and it is being investigated by Italian Judicial bodies.

Sorry if this is a bit picky, but the Greeks might not like it described as a 'Greek Ferry', as under control of Greek maritime authorities, although ANEK might have to take some responsibility for not ensuring the safety standards provided to its passengers.

Take your point Geoff but it's now too late for me to edit the title.

Pretty shocking report though, imo.

Point taken on editing the title - remember when we had our own moderators to help out?

Well at this stage it is only media commentary, but it is not looking good for the final report, but the delay is not good.

I suspect a lot of the delay is in preparation for prosecutions.

We all whinge and moan about Health and Safety rules but when something like this happens it serves as a reminder that it does actually serve a very useful purpose.

Whatever happened to the Captain of the Costa Concordia??? Is he locked up yet??
