The Pace: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On January 10, 2020, authorities confiscated three ferries, namely 'Pace', 'Caronte', and 'Ulisse', on behalf of the financial police in Messina and Palermo, as well as the Trapani Prosecutor's Office. The vessels failed to meet safety and accessibility standards, specifically concerning access ramps, restrooms, and doors intended for passengers with reduced mobility. These ferries are vital for connecting the bustling routes between Trapani and the Egadi Islands during the peak summer months. The seizure followed thorough investigations conducted by the Palermo economic and financial police unit, in coordination with the Messina prosecutor's office, underscoring the commitment to ensuring passenger safety and compliance with maritime regulations.
