Repubblica di Genova capsized
« on: March 08, 2007, 09:07:42 AM »
This morning, around 6.30h local time, the Repubblica di Genova (IMO: 8521206) ran into trouble in the port of Antwerp. The Grimaldi Lines-vessel capsized. The reason is at this moment unknown. There are no victims, the crew could abandon the ship in time. A few containers felt into the water. The ship was berthed at the Verrebroekdok (Waaslandhaven, Linkeroever). More details will follow.

greetz,

The responses above are reasonable, but please remember roostes cannot possibly have meant any harm. We are all pleasant people here that just want to discuss ships and shipping.

Let us get back to what is important:
- No lives were lost in the casualty and we must be very thankful for that
- The reasons for the casualty have not been determined, but will hopefully be made clear in due time
- The industry must take note of the reason for the casualty when these are made known, and must make sure it does not happen again. The next time, lives could be lost...


Best regards

this is to captmoto and sy - my comment was not to question the skills and qualification of Grimaldi seafarers, sorry if somebody feels that way.
To be honest, i was waiting from shipspotters a facts or presumptions abt happening, some serious dicussion to put some light on it, not some bitter replies of how stupid one writer can be - let's just forget it(i will).
CaptMoto seams to have best reach to sources of information - when the ship strted to list and when it capsized?
