November 1, 2019
Posted in Disappearances A Norwegian newspaper reports that a woman in her 40’s fell from the deck of a Hurtigruten cruise ship as it approached the port inÅlesund.
Sunnmorsposten
reports that the unidentified woman was located in the water about an hour after she went overboard from the _M/S Finnmarken_ following an extensive search involving a helicopter and six vessels. After her initial rescue, the passenger was rushed to a local hospital in Ålesund where she was described as in “extremely serious” condition. She was transferred to the larger St. Olav’s Hospital in Trondheim where she reportedly died. A Norwegian police department posted details of the progress of the search and rescue efforts via Twitter:Forbes
and Newsweek
covered the story in English. Forbes stated that “Local police held the vessel in Ålesund while an investigation was conducted. They have since said there is ‘no reason to believe’ there was any criminal activity involved, but the investigation will continue in order to ‘clarify the circumstances’ surrounding the woman’s fall. According to cruise expert Dr. Ross Klein , there have been 356 people who have gone overboard since 2000. To our knowedge, no one has gone overboard from a Hurtigruten ship in the past.

GRANDFATHER OF TODDLER WHO FELL FROM ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE SHIPARRESTED
By Jim Walker on
October 28, 2019
Posted in Crime
The Associated Pressreports
tonight that a grandfather who police say dropped the young child from the _Freedom of the Seas_ docked in Puerto Rico last in July has arrested on charges of negligent homicide in the child’s death. Today, a judge ordered the arrest of Salvatore Anello after state prosecutors submitted evidence that the 2 year-old girl fell to the pavement when he raised her up to an open window on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship. We reported on the incident on July 7, 2019 – Two Year Old Child Dies After Falling From _Freedom of the Seas_.
ABC News initially reported that police said that the grandfather of the little girl from Indiana told officers he lost his grip while holding her outside a window on the 11th story of the cruise ship. Later, the family’s Miami lawyer said that the grandfather lifted her up and put her on a railing on the mistaken belief that there there is a glass window at that location. I explained to a newspaper that proving negligence won’t be an easy feat for the family: “In order for a cruise line to be legally liable for this child’s death, the family’s lawyer must prove that the cruise line acted unreasonably and that the cruise line knew or should have known of the specific danger on its ship . . . This will be an exceedingly difficult burden for the lawyer to meet in this very sad and tragic set of circumstances. Without evidence (prior incidents or proof that the cruise line knew of a dangerous condition on the cruise ship) the chances are slim that the court (if suit is filed) would permit this case to proceed to a jury trial.” As we previously reported, there have been relatively few situations where toddlers have fallen from upper decks on cruise ships. In 2012, a 14 month old toddler fell from deck 12 to deck 11 on the _Monarch of the Seas_and
was injured. The ship turned around and returned to Port Canaveral, Florida, where the child received urgent medical care and recovered. The grandfather is reportedly being held on $80,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on November 20th. Have a thought or questions?

PASSENGER GOES OVERBOARD FROM CARNIVAL DREAMBy Jim Walker on
October 25, 2019
Posted in Disappearances A twenty-six year old passenger reportedly went overboard from the _Carnival Dream_ yesterday evening. The incident happened when the Carnival cruise ship was around 50 miles southeast of Galveston when the man apparently jumped from his cabin’s balcony, according to comments made by Carnival to a local news station KTRK-TV. News reports late ast night included a video taken by a cruise passenger of a rescue boat shining a flashlight into the dark waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Carnival Cruise Line is one of the cruise companies which refuses to invest in automatic man overboard systems (MOB), as required by the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010. Such systems utlize sophisticated motion detection, infrared and radar technology to send a signal directly to the bridge when a person goes over the rails and then tracks the person in the water even at night. Cruise ships without such systems first conduct a manual search of the ship and then review the video of cameras along the side of the ship (which are not actively manned) to see if they show someone going overboard. Such “old school” systems delay rescue efforts. It’s akin to looking for a needle in a hatstack. In this case, news accounts indicate that the _Carnival Dream_ had to sail around 25 minutes to return to the area where the man apparently jumped in thewater.
The U.S Coast Guard
stated that it was first notified of the situation at 8:45 p.m. last night. It then lauched a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Houston and a HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircraft from Corpus Christi. The rescue efforts have not been successful. Cruise expert Dr. Ross Klein’s popular cruise site CruiseJunkie indicates that 355 people have gone overboard from cruise ships since 2000. Most cruise lines have not installed automatic MOB systems. There are numerous available for use such as shown hereand

POLICE: DISNEY YOUTH COUNSELOR MOLESTED 10-YEAR-OLD CHILD ON DISNEYMAGIC
By Jim Walker on
October 11, 2019
Posted in Sexual Assault of Minors A Disney crew member is heading toward trial in Miami-Dade County on multiple criminal charges that he engaged in lewd and lascivious molestation of a ten year old child aboard the _Disney Magic_. The Miami-Dade County Police Department arrested 24 year old Oliver Lovatt on allegation that he sexually molested a young boy in the “Oceaneer Kids Lab” aboard the _Disney Magic _last April.The Miami Herald
reports that “Lovatt blindfolded a 10-year-old boy and spun him around several times as part of a game. It was at that time he ‘fondled the victim’s penis outside of the clothing,’ according to a Miami-Dade police arrest report. The boy also told police that the Disney youth counselor sat next to him while he was playing a game building a house of cards. When Lovatt reportedly moved his hand towards the child, the boy covered his genitals, fearing he’d befondled again.
Lovatt is from Manchester, Britain where he excelled in acting, dancing and singing in his youth. The Herald also reported that the molestation was captured by surveillance cameras and Lovatt confessed to police that he fondledthe child.
The criminal trial of Lovatt (photo right, before he began working for Disney) is scheduled to begin in two weeks on Octobeer 28, 2019 before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson. Althought the incident occurred in April, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office is just now asking the public whether “there are any other victims out there.” (Anyone with information can call the Miami-Dade Special Victims Bureau at 305-715-3300)_. _There appears to be no efforts to date by Disney to inform families who traveled on the _Disney Magic_ of the pedophile tendencies of its employee, and ask the parents to be on the look out for signs of sexual abuse after their cruises. Around one-third of sexual assault victims on cruise ships are reportedly minors. And there have been many reported sexual assaults of victims on cruise ships operated by Disney Cruises, which obviouslycaters to children.
Here are some examples of prior cases where children were attacked during cruises on Disney cruises: In December of 2015, a 31 year old crew member was arrested for molesting an 11-year-old girl. The crime also occured aboard the _Disney Magic_. The Miami-Dade police detained the crew member when it returned to the port of Miami, where he confessed to the crime. He was charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a minor and sentenced to jail. We are representing the child and her parents in a claim against Disney. In 2014, a a 33 year-old Disney waiter molested an 11 year-old girl aboard the Disney _Dream_ at the port of Cape Canaveral. The staff captain of the ship reportedly ordered a security officer to “keepher mouth shut”
after she investigated the sexual assault of the child. Disney then sailed the ship and the perpetrator out of the jurisdiction and flew him back to his home in India from the next port (Nassau). The security officer said that she felt like Disney tried to sweep the crime under the carpet,
partly because the little girl and her grandmother were Brazilian. “Disney wouldn’t have got away with it if they were Americans,” she said. Read more here: Did Disney Cruise Lines Cover Up Sexual Molestation of 11 Year Old Girl on Disney Dream? We created a Facebook photo album of images from the investigation which was aired by WKMG Channel 6 in Orlando, which you can see here.
A 24 year old passenger was indicted in 2010 for sexually abusing a 13 year old girl on the _Disney Wonder_. The girl attended a program at the cruise ship’s teen club with other girls. The adult passenger approached the girls, claiming to be an employee of the cruise line, and told them to return to their rooms. He instructed the child in question to follow him because he was allegedly a security officer with the cruise ship. When they reached an area where no other people were around, he then assaulted the girl. A federal district court sentenced the passenger to 46 months in prisonand
ordered him to pay restitution. We also suggest reading: Denial, Skepticism Plague Sexual Assaults Against Passengers on Cruises.

TWO CREW MEMBERS JUMP FOM CELEBRITY SUMMIT INTO SAINT LAWRENCE RIVERBy Jim Walker on
October 1, 2019
Posted in Rescue
Two Celebrity crew members apparently jumped from the _Celebrity Summit_ cruise ship earlier this week. Canadian fire-rescue and coast guard departments rescued them both from the cold Saint LawrenceRiver.
Several newspapers reported that the crew menbers apparently jumped into the river in Quebec City early on Monday morning. Le Soleil newspaper reported that the fiirst crew member, a 27 year old man, jumped into the river from the _Celebrity Summit_ cruise ship, which had been moored at the Port of Quebec since Sunday. The incident occurred around 5:40 a.m., and the crew member was sighted by patrolmen from the Port of Quebec near the cruise terminal. A patrol officer went down the quay ladder, and rescued the ship employee. The temperature of the river was reportedly about 13 ° celsius and the crew member was hypothermic when rescued. The Canadian Coast Guard rescued the second crew member, a 36 year old man, around 7 a.m. after he drifted with the current around 5 kilometers down the river. He also suffered from hypothermia. Both men were taken to the hospital after they were rescued. According to _TVA Nouvelles_, the men are believed to be from Zimbabwe and the United Arab Emirates. It is believed that they may have attempted to immigrate into Canada illegally. It seems probable that these crew members were not permitted to leave the cruise ship at this port of call and made a decision to literally “jump ship” while the ship was still in port. The _Summit_ left Quebec City later that Monday afternoon. It is unknown whether the cruise line returned the employees to the ship or whether the men remained in the hospital with the intention of flying them back to their respetcive counties when they were released from medical care.

Rescued Passenger - MSC Divina MAN OVERBOARD FROM MSC DIVINA, RESCUEDBy Jim Walker on
September 30, 2019
Posted in Disappearances A passenger went overboard from the _MSC Divina_ late last week, according to a passenger who reported the incident to cruise expert Dr. Ross Klein who operates the popular CruiseJunkie web site.
The passenger stated “Last week we were on the _MSC Divina_ and there a person went overboard. Around 6 in the morning the signal man overboard woke up the entire boat. We were on our way to Valencia. The boat turned around and about an our later the man (or woman) wasfound!”
The passenger referred to a video (apparently taken by an Italian passenger) on YouTube showing the rescue (bottom). Another passenger reported on Twitter that a man jumped overboard and was rescued around 90 minutes later: There have been at least 351 people who have gone overboard from cruise ships since 2000. Dr. Klein’s data further indicates that a least 16 passengers and crew members have gone overboard from MSC cruise ships in the last 13 years. An average of over 22 people disappear each year from cruise ships and only 13.8% are saved.
The last passenger who went overboard from another MSC cruise ship, the _MSC Meraviglia, _this
past July was quickly rescued, although she later died in a hospital. The _MSC Meraviglia_ is one of the few cruise lines in the world which has implemented a state of the art automatic man overboard system. As I explained shortly after the _MSC Meraviglia_ first was launched, MSC Cruises developed an “intelligent video capturing and analysis system” in collaboration with security technology experts, Bosch and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. MSC Cruises tested the new man overboard system on the company’s newest ship which debuted in June of 2017. MSC reported that “through over 25,000 hours of video analysis, extensive software testing and continuous algorithmic updates, the system has now reached a confirmed accuracy level of97%.”
The man overboard data and images are analysed by two separate and independent image processing systems which significantly lower false alerts. Once the alarm is activated in case of an overboard, an acoustic signal and light will notify the ship’s security officer, in a central security room, who can immediately retrieve and review the images and data and immediately notify the bridge to begin rescue efforts, according to the Seatrade magazine. MSC did not attribute the rescue of the overboard woman from the _MSC Meraviglia_ directly to the success of its new overboard system. However, it released a statement to a German newspaperstating:
“Our ship’s security systems and ship’s command responded promptly, effectively and appropriately.” The newspaper continued by reporting that “within minutes, the ship had changed its route and returned to where the incident occurred.” Read: MSC Cruises Implements New Man Overboard System Amidst IndustryDelays
.
MSC claimed in 2017 that it would begin to retrofit the rest of its fleet of cruise ships with automatic man overboard systems. It is unknown whether MSC has retrofitted the _MSC Divina_ with such asystem.
Unfortunately, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) does not mandate the use of such technology. Trade organizations, like the Cruise Line International Organization (CLIA), unreasonably resists the move toward this life-saving technology, citing a myriad of excuses (alleging the cost and unreliability of the technology) which are belied by the success of the systems which are available on themarket today.
