Norman Atlantic legal issues

摘要

Investigations into the causes and aftermath of the major fire on the Italian-flagged ro-pax ferry Norman Atlantic, from which more than 400 passengers and crew were hoisted off in a 36-hour helicopter rescue operation, have been started by both Italian and Creek authorities and look certain to result in legal actions. The blaze broke out on the vehicle deck of the 26,904gt vessel on 28 December 2014 while she was in the Strait of Otranto sailing in stormy weather from Patras, Greece to the Italian port of Ancona. She was on charter to Creek operator ANEk Lines.
