Exclusive information comes from sources of the maritime accident investigation committee that has rushed to the scene of the new maritime tragedy to investigate the causes of the fire at Euroferry Olympia.
An expert investigator who spoke to SKAI, “sheds light” on important aspects of the incident.
On the occasion of the complaint of rescued, relatives of missing persons but truck drivers that drivers were sleeping illegally in them, he explains that in each truck there are two drivers and the ticket is for one: so the second one usually stays in the vehicle.
At the same time, a vital element is that when a ship arrives at port, the fire detection system shuts down and then they either forget to open it or do not open it because there are drivers in the garages who may smoke during the voyage.
The missing may be alive
In any case, the expert’s assessment that the missing can be found alive if they are in the underground garages, there is ventilation and good insulation so that the smoke does not pass through the fire, gives a “ray of optimism”.
Incomplete manuals in the last check
An important element for the investigation of the case are the findings that result from the last inspection that took place on the ship on February 16 as it seems that its fire safety manuals were incomplete.
At the same time there were deficiencies in cleanliness and sanitation, in leisure, catering and dining facilities
Finally, the workplaces did not have ventilation, according to the protocols.
It is noted that the company of the ship Grimaldi Lines stated that according to what they know, the fire started from a truck that was in the third store and point out that the ship was able to accommodate more than twice as many people as the passengers it carried.
At the same time, they claim that no one was in the garage as it is the company’s policy to carry out strict controls.
