Riddle about the fall of the luxury yacht Bayesian in Sicily!

Termini Imerese, Italien - The fall of the luxury yacht "Bayesian" on August 18, 2024 in front of the Liparic Islands remains a tragic riddle. The British billionaire Myke Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, two married couples and the bord cook were killed in the incident. A total of twelve guests and ten crew members were on board when the accident happened.

Officer Michele Maltese from the coast guard reports that the fuselage of the "Bayesian" is unharmed and only dirty. However, the buildings of the ship have damage that was probably caused by sinking. It is particularly noteworthy that despite the locking of the hatch and the intact fuselage, experts have to clarify how the 72 meter long yacht could drop within a few minutes.

preparations for the investigations

maltese indicates that possible causes of the quick sabotage, technical and human failure or a combination could be. The "Bayesian" will be brought to the port of Termini Imerese next Monday, where incoming investigations begin. Investigators suspect that human failure played a role during a violent thunderstorm nearby. It is expected that decontamination of the ship is necessary before experts can analyze any detail of the interior.

The first reports on the incident emphasize that the anchor had fallen at 9:24 p.m. in calm weather and weak wind. But the weather conditions deteriorated dramatically: at 3:00 a.m. a thunderstorm approached, whose danger was obvious at 3:30 a.m. In just 15 seconds, the "Bayesian" capsized 90 ° after a taxboard, while a crew member was thrown overboard.

Fast reaction and rescue action

The crew desperately tried to save itself after water entered over the tax bristle. The evacuation was arranged at 04:22 a.m. and the rescue island was released. The yacht dropped at 04:45 a.m. Another ship, the "Sir Robert Baden Powell", recognized the emergency signals and was able to save some survivors.

The weather reports had previously announced stable winds between 3-4 and a storm warning for the night. Sudden wind gaps up to 41 knots were measured before the accident, which indicates a super cell as the cause of the extreme weather conditions. Studies show that the mast played a crucial role in caps.

The stability analysis showed that the stability angle of only 70.6 ° was not sufficient to keep the ship stable in the wind conditions occurring. According to the chief inspector of lake accidents, Andrew Moll, the extreme wind was sufficient to have the yacht capsized.

relevance for maritime security standards

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has dealt with security at sea since its foundation in 1948 and developed global regulations, which are also important for new shipping buildings and the operation of yachts such as the "Bayesian". Regulations such as the Solas code and the Marpol Convention aim to prevent accidents and pollution.

The evaluation of the incidents around the "Bayesian" could have far -reaching consequences for the security standards in international shipping. The security examination has not yet been completed at the moment, and further information will be expected in the coming weeks.
