* Napoli is a huge modern ship, provided with modern navigational equipments.
* The use of cheaper, non qualified navigators (by experience only) for economic reasons, might be the cause of grounding her.
So it is economic for short term, But costly for along term after the accident!. I wish the managements of all shipping companies be aware of that.
* I believe the only cause of the incident was the incompetency of the duti navigator, Who failed to take the ship's position more frequently than usual(15 or 20 minutes) & it could be necessary to br taken every 2 minutes or less in that situation of heavy trafficed, zoned area in heavy weather & with consideration to the size of the ship, which can be easily affected by the weather!
As by that the course of the ship could be corrected frequently & accordingly.
* I never accept that the cause was the heavy weather.
THIS COMES FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN NAVIGATION AT SEA, OCEANS & THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
