Despite these recent trends, we believe the incident will not have a significant long-term impact on our business.

IMO Secretary-General says that IMO is right body to deal with safety debate after Costa Concordia

January 30, 2012

IMO Secretary-General Koji Sekimizu, speaking at the opening of the Sub-Committee on Bulk Liquids and Gases (BLG) today (30 January 2012), stated that IMO is the right international body to deal with safety of passenger ships and, in particular, a safety review after the Costa Concordia accident.

He has included an additional item on “Passenger Ship Safety” on the agenda of the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee, which meets for its 90th session from 16-25 May this year. This will provide an opportunity for IMO Members in the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) to consider any issues arising. He appreciated any initiatives of Member Governments and the industry to improve safety and encouraged them to put forward their contributions to MSC 90.

These moves come against the background of a raft of safety measures already under review at the UN agency, including work going on in several sub-committees to further improve safety measures for ships, including passenger ships.

Given that the safe operation of passenger ships is of major interest to the international community as a whole, Mr Sekimizu has also urged all IMO Member States to ensure that their current national safety regulations and procedures are being implemented fully and effectively, including those aiming at ensuring safe operations on board.

In the spirit of IMO’s continuing proactive approach to passenger ships safety, Mr Sekimizu opened a channel of communication with passenger ship operators – through the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) – immediately following the Costa Concordia accident. CLIA has responded positively to Mr Sekimizu’s request to hold meetings with him to discuss the safety of passenger ships in general and, in particular, any findings and recommendations from its own, internal, review of current practices and safety procedures in the operation of passenger ships.

Mr Sekimizu reiterated that he had urged the Italian Administration to carry out its investigation into the casualty and to report its findings to the IMO as soon as possible. Mr Sekimizu expressed his gratitude that the Italian authorities had agreed to his request for the IMO to be represented as an observer on the body overseeing the casualty investigation in order to monitor progress closely and remain abreast of emerging issues, as they arise. He pledged that the Organization would consider seriously the lessons to be learned and take action as appropriate in the light of those findings.

ECC welcomes IMO Sec-Gen Statement: IMO is right body to deal with safety debate after Concordia

(Brussels, 30 January 2012) The European Cruise Council (ECC) today welcomed the statement by IMO Secretary-General Koji Sekimizu, that the IMO is the right international body to deal with the safety of passenger ships and, in particular, the safety review after the Concordia accident.

ECC Chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio, Chairman of the ECC & Silversea Cruises said: “Given the international nature of the cruise industry the IMO is the right body to deal with the safety debate after the Concordia incident. I am therefore pleased that the IMO Secretary General has included an additional item on “Passenger Ship Safety” on the agenda of the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee, which meets for its 90th session from 16-25 May this year.”

He continued: “I welcome the fact that this will provide an opportunity for IMO Members in the Maritime Safety Committee to consider any issues arising, including initiatives of Member Governments and the industry to improve safety.”

He concluded: “Immediately following the Costa Concordia accident. Mr Sekimizu opened a channel of communication with passenger ship operators – through the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). CLIA has responded positively to Mr Sekimizu’s request to hold meetings with him to discuss the safety of passenger ships in general and, in particular, any findings and recommendations from its own, internal, review of current practices and safety procedures in the operation of passenger ships, announced last week”

Ich und dabei werde ich sicher keine Ausnahme sein, bin gewaltig durch das Verhalten der Schiffsführung und dem Ausbildungsstand der Besatzung der Costa Concordia verunsichert. Bei dieser Reederei werde ich ganz sicher keine Kreuzfahrt buchen wollen.
Ich bin mir mit meiner Frau einig, lieber ein Jahr länger sparen und dann auf einem kleineren und feinerem Schiff eine Reise buchen. Wenn es allein nach mir ginge, dann käme nur noch ein Schiff der Hapag Lloyd in Frage.

Auch die Behauptung die Crew habe samt & sonders versagt wäre angesichts der hohe Zahl der Überlebende auch nicht die ganze Wahrheit.

Diesen Eindruck von Dir teile ich von Beginn an. Dieses Unglück hat definitiv eine historische Dimension und zumindest bei allen Zweiflern, die Vorurteile über Kreuzfahrt verstärkt.

Der Knick wird zu spüren sein und wir werden noch eine lange Zeit darüber sprechen. So schnell wie ein anderes Unglück im Transportbereich wird hier nicht vergessen. Auto-, Bahn-, und Flugzeug benötigen wir für den modernen Alltag.

Aber Kreuzfahrten sind das schönste Urlaubsvergnügen der Welt...jedoch nicht zwingend ein "must" und somit für den ein - oder anderen auch entbehrlich..

Sorry to say
