No rocks are shown on the UKHO's chart at the position where the Costa Concordia sank.<br />The UKHO points out that its charts are only at the 1:300,000 scale and that Italian charts are available on a much larger scale.<br />"It should be noted that this small scale chart is considered to be unsuitable for close inshore navigation," the UKHO told Lloyds.<br /><br /><a href="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/57950000/jpg/_57950604_e0dbb8d4-1331-41d5-b91f-5fb73dea0a2a.jpg" rel="nofollow">BBC : Costa Concordia's previous near miss</a><br />'Near miss' :<br />Meanwhile, satellite tracking information given to the BBC by the shipping journal, Lloyd's List Intelligence, shows that the Costa Concordia sailed closer to Giglio island on a cruise last August than it did on its disastrous voyage on Friday.<br />Lloyd's List told the BBC that the vessel passed within 230m of the island on 14 August 2011 to mark La Notte di San Lorenzo - the night of the shooting stars festival on the island.<br />The route deviation on that occasion had been authorised by Costa Cruises - the company which owns the vessel.<br />Lloyd's List has published data suggesting a near miss occurred in a very similar location in August<br />The company said on Monday that the ship was never closer than 500m to the coast when it passed on 14 August.<br />Lloyd's List describes that occasion as a "near miss" and says the ship's route would have been less than 200m away from the point of collision on Friday's voyage.<br />Costa Cruises said on Monday that the route deviation last Friday had been "unauthorised, unapproved and unknown to Costa".<br />But Richard Meade, the Editor of Lloyd's List, said: "The company's account of what happened, of the rogue master [Capt Schettino] taking a bad decision, isn't quite as black and white as they presented originally."<br />"This ship took a very similar route only a few months previously and the master would have known that."<br />Costa Cruises says it is looking into the claims, but stands by the statement it gave on Monday.Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-17779451952108949632012-01-18T11:33:44.336+01:002012-01-18T11:33:44.336+01:00CNN : Search suspended after stricken Italian crui...<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2012/01/18/world/europe/italy-cruise-main/?hpt=hp_t1" rel="nofollow">CNN : Search suspended after stricken Italian cruise ship moves</a><br />The shipping industry newspaper Lloyd's List reported that Friday was not the first time the Costa Concordia steamed extremely close to shore near Giglio.<br />Satellite tracking data obtained by the paper shows that the ship passed within 230 meters of the coast of the island at least once before -- even closer than the location where the Costa Concordia hit the rocks this weekend.<br />The pass happened on August 14, 2011, Lloyd's list reported.Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-61544030333301125142012-01-16T22:22:44.208+01:002012-01-16T22:22:44.208+01:00TheGuardian : Costa Concordia cruise liner's c...<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jan/16/costa-concordia-company-captain-disaster?intcmp=239" rel="nofollow">TheGuardian : Costa Concordia cruise liner's company blames captain for disaster (Costa Cruises says Captain Francesco Schettino deviated from route to make 'salute' to island of Giglio)</a>Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-76740394001083496782012-01-16T16:04:05.820+01:002012-01-16T16:04:05.820+01:00TheGuardian : Italian cruise ship was making unaut...<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jan/16/italian-cruise-ship-captain-costa-concordia" rel="nofollow">TheGuardian : Italian cruise ship was making unauthorised manoeuvre when it hit rocks</a>Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-50065797570089396402012-01-16T16:00:43.098+01:002012-01-16T16:00:43.098+01:00BBC : Cruise ship captain 'off course'<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16563562" rel="nofollow">BBC : Cruise ship captain 'off course'</a>Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.com
