Leading Italian shipowner Emanuele Grimaldi has called for fresh measures to prevent fires on containerships and ropax vessels.
He is urging criminal sanctions be introduced for the misdeclaration of cargo, stringent controls on the stowage of containers, and restrictions on refrigerated trailers and camper vans on ropax vessels
Speaking on the fringes of the Euromed conference in Sicily, his call for stricter regulation came as he responded to questions over the recent spate of fires aboard containerships, ropax vessels and car carriers.
