"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, a cement carrier, the
sank on 2 December off the port of La Spezia, in the Poets’ Gulf, which is a magnificent gulf in the Mediterranean. The crew was rescued, and the SeaDarQ system indicated that around 90 000 litres of hydrocarbons had leaked out. The safety operation will cost at least EUR 2 million and work will continue for some months.
The rescue services’ efforts and the professionalism shown were both excellent but, nonetheless, the urgent need for stricter controls has been highlighted since this ship was a rust bucket, which was registered with the Ukraine Register of Shipping and sailing with its documents in order. The possibility of carrying out a post-incident technical investigation to ascertain the causes of the incident and those responsible should therefore be reviewed, and this case should also be considered within the Erika II policy package, so that it can genuinely be said that those responsible for carrying out the checks will themselves be checked."@en1
