Union airs concerns after grounding
The Concordia’s grounding, two weeks into the Titanic centenary year, should serve as a wake-up call to the shipping industry and those who regulate it, the maritime professionals’ union Nautilus International said today.
The union – which represents 23,000 ship masters, officers, ratings and other shipping industry staff – said the Italian-flagged cruise ship was the latest in a series to highlight its long-standing concerns over safety.
