Fri proces mod Søfartsstyrelsen

Civilstyrelsen Staten har nu bevilget fri proces til overlevende og pårørende efter branden om bord Scandinavian Star, der kræver, at Søfartsstyrelsen skal betale erstatning for manglende kontrol af skibets dårlige sikkerhed. Det skriver Politiken.

”Det er rigtig godt for mine klienter, som har ventet i årtier på, at der kommer en afgørelse. De har kæmpet for at få afklaret, om Søfartsstyrelsen er ansvarlig og erstatningspligtig for ikke at have gennemført en havnestatskontrol af Scandinavian Star inden branden”, siger Mads Pramming, der er advokat for 45 overlevende og pårørende efter branden, til avisen.


Branden fandt sted i 1990 og kostede 159 mennesker livet.


De overlevende og pårørende kræver en godtgørelse på 450.000 kroner per person. Hvis de får medhold, skal staten samlet betale lidt over 20 millioner kroner.


Hvis alle der var berørt af branden, stiller samme krav som de 45, vil det samlede erstatningsbeløb overstige 200 millioner kroner.
 

En juridisk rapport bestilt af Erhvervsministeriet slog sidste år fast, at Søfartsstyrelsen skulle have foretaget en havnestatskontrol af skibet, inden Scandinavian Star blev sat i drift.


Søfartsstyrelsens har overfor avisen ikke ønsket at kommentere beslutningen om fri proces.
