The boss of the Italian cruise company which owns the ship which ran aground in the Mediterranean today apologised for the tragedy. Costa Cruises chairman and chief executive Pier Luigi Foschi spoke as the death toll in the disaster rose to six. According to reports the ship's captain Francesco Schettino may have been "showing off" when he steered the vessel too close to rocks.

He faces accusations that he abandoned the vessel before ensuring that all of the 4, people aboard were safely evacuated after the disaster off the Tuscan coast on Friday night. It is thought that Capt Schettino sailed as close to land as he did as he wanted to salute to a friend on shore. Mr Foschi said that the company stood by captain Schettino, and would provide him with legal assistance.

But he said that the company, which is owned by the world's largest cruiseline, Carnival, disassociated itself from his behavior.

The fact that it left from this course is due solely to a maneuver by the commander that was unapproved, unauthorized and unknown to Costa," he said. Mr Foschi spoke to reporters at a press conference as rescuers still searching for anyone trapped in the vessel reportedly suspended the operation after it started moving. Mr Foschi said the incident would undoubtedly have a "negative impact" on the company's image.

Mr Foschi said the company's main concern now was the safety and well-being of the passengers and crew as well as making sure fuel does not leak from the upended hull into the pristine waters off the island of Giglio. Celebs TV Films. US Celebrity News Strictly. Mirror Choice. Follow us on social.
