U.S. maritime inspectors found leaky lifeboats or faulty fire doors on several cruise liners last year after mounting a major review in the wake of several highly-publicized scandals in the booming industry.
A forum organized in Washington by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) heard about the problems on Tuesday.
Captain Eric Christensen of the U.S. Coast Guard said 140 cruise ships — the majority of them flagged in other countries — were subjected to inspection in U.S. ports last year.

Costa Concordia was delivered in 2006 and would have been designed to satisfy the SOLAS 90 deterministic damage regulations rather than the current SOLAS 2009 probabilistic damage stability regulations. SOLAS 90 specified the number of flooded contiguous watertight compartments that the vessel should be capable of withstanding based on the factor of subdivision (F);
- for F between 0.33 0.5 two compartments.
- for F equal to 0.33 or less the three compartments
Costa Concordia was apparently designed with a factor of subdivision equal to 0.386 and hence required the intact stability to be adequate to withstand the flooding of any two contiguous watertight compartments. Hull damage length of 53 metres (from frame 52 to 125) and variable

«Desgraciadamente era cierta la noticia». Hace un siglo que el periódico LAS PROVINCIAS informaba del hundimiento del 'Alcira', un barco de vapor perteneciente a la empresa valenciana Compañía de Correos de África.

The sinking of the Sewol ferry off South Korea raises new concerns about ship safety more than two years after the capsizing of the Costa Concordia ocean liner spurred a global campaign to improve passenger security.
The sight of terrified passengers being plucked from the side of the listing ferry stirred memories from January 2012 of the Concordia lying on its side near Giglio Island, off the western coast of Italy. As with the Concordia, authorities say the Sewol’s captain abandoned ship while the rescue was still in progress, passengers were told to remain below deck even as the ship began taking on water and life rafts were
