Strømtab gjorde redningsbåde ubrugelige

Den dramatiske redningsaktion ved den brændende færge Norman Atlantic i Adriaterhavet er slut. Otte personer mistede livet, men i løbet af 24 timer lykkedes det for redningsfolkene fra Grækenland, Italien og Albanien at redde de mange passagerer og besætningsmedlemmer væk fra den brændende færge.

Undervejs betød et strømsvigt, at færgens redningsbåde var ubrugelige. Cirka 150 passagerer nåede at forlade færgen ved hjælp af færgens egne redningsbåde, men så satte strømmen ud, og dermed kunne redningsbådene ikke længere fires ned i vandet. Redningsbådene skal nemlig løftes ud over siden ved hjælp af kraner, og de virker kun ved hjælp af strøm.

Årsagen til branden vides ikke med sikkerhed endnu, men opstod på det nederste dæk, og der var angiveligt en lastbil med olietønder ombord på dækket.

Færgen var på vej fra Patras i Grækenland til Ancona i Italien, da der opstod brand på bildækket, som spredte sig til resten af færgen. Branden gjorde det nødvendigt for passagererne at opholde sig udenfor på dækket, mens de ventede på at blive evakueret. Tidligere forlød det, at der var 478 passagerer ombord, men de italienske myndigheder oplyser, at antallet er usikkert.
