Message from the Master and Wardens

The Honourable Company of Master Mariners will not join in the press speculation as to the cause(s) of the recent grounding of the Costa Concordia, nor will the Honourable Company speculate on the culpability of otherwise of the vessel's Master.

Whilst recognising the potential and serious environmental damage of this incident, we are however dismayed by the early action of the authorities to arrest and handcuff the Master.

As a professional organisation of Master Mariners, we believe it imperative that the full investigation of the incident is allowed to run its course unhindered by uninformed speculation in the press and elsewhere.

The HCMM will comment fully when the investigation is complete and the full facts known.
