Italian court orders Rina to pay 60M euros
The Civil Court of Genoa, Italy, ruled that the "Rena" company was responsible for the sinking of the Peace 98 ferry in the Red Sea in 2006. It ordered the company to pay over 60 million euros as compensation to approximately 700 relatives of the victims, out of more than 1,000 people killed. The disaster occurred when the Egyptian ferry "Peace 98" sank after a fire broke out on board, leading to its capsizing and sinking off the Red Sea coast during its journey from Saudi Arabia to Egypt, resulting in the deaths of 1,071 individuals, most of whom were migrant workers and pilgrims. The ferry, which was previously owned by the "Terinia" company, had been modified and capacity increased before being sold to the Egyptian "Salam" company, prior to sinking in 2006. The court recommended compensation amounts ranging from 60 million euros and suggested differentiating between damages awarded to male and female victims, noting that the judiciary based its ruling on Islamic Sharia law.
