Caronte Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On January 10, 2020, authorities took action by seizing the 'Pace', 'Caronte', and 'Ulisse', following an investigation by the Messina and Palermo financial police units, in coordination with the Trapani Prosecutor's Office. This measure was prompted by significant shortcomings in the vessels' accessibility features, particularly regarding access ramps, toilets, and doors designed for passengers with reduced mobility. These deficiencies were particularly concerning for the popular routes connecting Trapani and the Egadi Islands, especially during the bustling summer season. The investigation highlights the critical need for compliance with safety and accessibility standards in maritime transport.
