(30 Dec 2014) The Italian navy transport ship, San Giorgio, docked in the port of Brindisi on Tuesday evening with about 180 to 200 survivors of a crippled Greek ferry on board.
The ship had been the main command centre coordinating the search and rescue operation, but it also took aboard nearly half of the passengers and crew members who were rescued.
The Italian coast guard said another body from the ferry was found on Tuesday, bringing the death toll to 11.
More than 400 people were rescued from the ferry, most in daring, nighttime helicopter sorties that persisted despite high winds and seas, after a fire broke out before dawn Sunday on a car deck.
Both Italian and Greek authorities have announced criminal investigations into the cause of the blaze.
