Savarese blames Rina
The owner of the
Erika
, Giuseppe Savarese, publicly blamed the Italian class society Rina and the Maltese registry for the loss of the tanker: ‘I
paid Rina to verify that my ship was in proper condition. They did verify that my ship was in a proper condition. If … there
was a structural problem, they should have been able to spot that.’
