While the investigation into the maritime accident of the catamaran Melita in Zadar is still ongoing, an inspector has revealed that the ship was likely damaged by a large wave. The age of ships is the biggest problem in the Adriatic, he warned.
The sea began to enter the ship's hull. There were 38 passengers and 5 crew members on board. They were rescued for an hour.
Rescuers evacuated passengers from a sinking ship in the Croatian port of Zadar on Tuesday night. A ferry came to the rescue. The crew is also safe, the Croatian Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure announced, according to the Balkan Insight server.
The huge waves, rain, and hail only subsided on Tuesday morning.
The 43 people on board were rescued by ferry.
