A Norwegian Cruise Line captain was arrested in Corfu, Greece, after the Norwegian Viva drifted from its pier due to strong winds. The incident occurred when mooring lines snapped, causing the gangway to detach and a 56-year-old passenger to fall into the water. The guest sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Local authorities arrested the captain for alleged exposure to danger, though the cruise line confirmed he cooperated with the investigation and has since resumed his duties. This event highlights the significant impact that sudden weather shifts can have on port operations even while a vessel is docked. How much responsibility should a captain bear for incidents caused by extreme, unpredictable weather conditions?
