  The Civil Court of Genoa in Italy has ordered on 14 October the maritime certification company RINA SpA to pay more than EUR 60 million (EGP 3 billion) in compensation to relatives and survivors of about 700 victims of the Egyptian ferry Al Salam Boccaccio 98, which sank in the Red Sea in 2006. The first-instance ruling, signed by Judge Daniele Bianchi, identifies the negligent conduct of the classification society as the main cause of a disaster that claimed 1,071 lives. The Boccaccio was one of five sister ships of the “Poeti” series, built for the Italian company Tirrenia in 1968. In 1990, Tirrenia increased the vessel’s capacity to compete with private operators by adding four decks, and in 1999 the five ships were sold to the Egyptian owner El Salam Shipping & Trading. In 2002, the sister ship Petrarca sank in the Red Sea after a fire, with one death. The Boccaccio’s turn came on the night of 2 to 3 February 2006, while it was travelling from Saudi Arabia toward the Egyptian port of Safaga. Of roughly 1,400 people on board, most of which were Egyptian migrantContinue reading "Italy Holds RINA Liable for EUR 60 Million Over Egypt Ferry Disaster"
