Italian Authorities Impound Three Ferries Amid Corruption Probe
On June 6, 2023, a significant operation unfolded as Italian law enforcement seized three ferries operated by Caronte & Tourist—the 'Ulisse', the 'Bridge' (IMO: 7817830), and the 'Helga' (IMO: 7320693). This decisive action was taken in response to serious corruption allegations against the management of the ferry company. The 'Ulisse' was docked in Messina, the 'Bridge' was located in Milazzo, while the 'Helga' was moored in Palermo at the time of the seizure. As part of the ongoing investigation, these vessels are prohibited from leaving their respective ports. In a further blow to the company, nearly 30 million Euros held in its bank accounts have been frozen by the court. This development raises critical questions about governance and accountability within the maritime sector.
Seizure of Three Ferries Highlights Accessibility Issues in Trapani
On January 10, 2020, authorities seized three ferries, namely the 'Pace', 'Caronte', and 'Ulisse', as part of an investigation led by the financial police in Messina and Palermo, along with the Trapani Prosecutor's Office. The vessels fell short of the required standards for accessibility, specifically concerning ramps, restrooms, and entryways for passengers with reduced mobility. These deficiencies were particularly concerning on the heavily trafficked routes between Trapani and the beautiful Egadi Islands during the peak summer season. The operation is the result of thorough investigations conducted by Palermo's economic and financial police, under the direction of the Messina prosecutor's office, underscoring the commitment to ensuring safety and compliance in maritime transport.
Collision Between Hidalga and Ulisse in Palermo
In the early hours of July 10, 2010, the bulk carrier 'Hidalga' experienced a maritime incident while maneuvering to its designated berth in Palermo. During this maneuver, it collided with the moored vessel 'Ulisse', resulting in significant dents and damage to both ships. Fortunately, following the collision, both vessels were assessed and deemed seaworthy, allowing them to continue their operations post-repair.
