Claimed 222 million euros
Bayesian builder withdraws compensation claim
The builder of the luxury yacht Bayesian, which sank off Palermo on August 19, The Italian Sea Group (TISG), has now withdrawn a €222 million compensation claim it had filed with a court in Sicily from the ship's operator.
A spokesperson for TISG, which took over Perini Navi, the shipyard that built the Bayesian in 2008, confirmed to the news agency ANSA on Monday that the lawsuit filed last Friday at the court of Termini Imerese by lawyer Tommaso Bertuccelli - krone.at reported - has been withdrawn.
Lawsuit filed for damage to image
The lawsuit against Revtom Limited, a company owned by Angela Bacares, the widow of the British billionaire Mike Lynch, the owner of the ship who died in the accident, had been filed due to alleged reputational damage in connection with the sinking of the luxury yacht in Porticello near Palermo.
In a statement released on Sunday, the company pointed out that despite "a general mandate to the lawyers, no legal representative of the company has reviewed, signed or authorized the summons" and announced that it was withdrawing the lawsuit.
Yacht sank during severe storm
The Bayesian sank during a severe and sudden storm off the port of Porticello, near Palermo. The yacht, which lies at a depth of 56 meters, is to be salvaged, but it is not yet clear when this will take place.
