Navios unit dodges bareboat bullet

Carnival sued by crewman
Carnival Corp is being sued by a crew member over the capsizing of Costa Concordia.
In what could be the first of many US lawsuits seeking class-action status over the disaster in Italy, lawyers for Gary Lobaton said in a court filing that he was not aware of the "dangerous conditions" on the cruiseship until it was too late to abandon it.
The action seeks to determine whether Carnival deviated from international safety standards when operating the Costa Cruises vessel, ultimately owned by the US corporation.
"Costa Concordia's captain, Francesco Schettino, delayed the order to abandon ship and deploy the lifeboats," Lobaton's lawyers said in the filing.
Lobaton, who sued Carnival individually and on behalf of all others similarly affected by the cruise disaster, wants damages from the company, according to the court filing.
Lobaton had also requested the court to assign class-action status to the lawsuit.
The number of dead in the tragedy has risen to 16.
The case has been filed in Illinois.
