MOB sur (gros, très gros) bateaux

www.cruiselawnews.com[...]spirit/

un passager d'un paquebot arrivé à Nouméa est passé par dessus bord lors de la traversée.
je suis tombée sur cet article de site internet, qui indique une moyenne de 1,5 passager par mois.

"“From an average of 1.5 people that fall overboard from cruise ships each month, only 17% are rescued. . . . This incident data should lead to a shift in the way man overboards (MOBs) are regarded in the cruise ship industry and prompt action to better protect against them. While there are undoubtedly cases of passengers willfully (or drunkenly) ignoring safety warnings, one cannot ignore the wider pattern of risk shown by Klein’s data. Cruise lines should certainly veer away from blaming passengers and find better ways of safeguarding them.”"

c'est compliqué le business : pour gagner du fric, on fait boire les passagers (on interdit qu'ils amènent de l'alcool à bord), ensuite ils tombent à l'eau et on perd du fric à essayer de les repêcher. compliqué...

dur la vie de croisièriste ...
Carnival is a good example of a cruise line which spends its tax free money collected from its customers on entertainment/retail improvements to its ships rather than investing in life-saving safety technology.
