Catamaran Grounding-error of Navigation.

An error of navigation appears to have been the cause of serious damage to the French catamaran Saint Malo.

Preliminary investigation have largely confirmed suggestions that the vessel, which has an eight foot long gash in her portside hull, scraped rock rather than hit logs or other floating objects at high speed.

The master of another ship, Captain Michel Leroy, who was in that navigation, area said that Saint Malo had been following a normal route and not through a difficult channel when she was holed a mile offshore.

About 30 passengers are reported to have sustained fractures after jumping about 15th from the listing catamaran into inflatable life rafts, one passenger suffered a heart attack and others sustained less serious injuries.

Passengers criticized safety procedures as inadequate with no lifesaving demonstration before departure, no public evacuation order and claimed that alarms were not sounded until 10 minutes after the accident.

The England Ship Owners Mutual Association will be responsible for meeting injury claims, passenger liabilities, catamarans losses and damages, as well as for all the law expenses.

The official investigation will be conducted by both French authorities and UKs Marine Accident Investigation Branch.

Neither France nor the UK is a signatory to the Athens Convention that covers passenger liabilities, so compensation will be determined by ticket conditions, the laws of France and those applicable to the Channel Islands plus possibly n the nationality of passengers.
