Carnival Corporation
launches safety review
After accident,
procedures called
into question
MIAMI (AP) - Carnival
Corp., the parent company of
Costa Cruises, announced yes-
terday a comprehensive audit
and review of all safety and
emergency response procedures
across all 10 of the company's
cruise lines.
Carnival Chairman and CEO
Micky Arison said in a news
release that last week's accident
of the Costa Concordia in Italy
has called into question the com-
pany's safety and emergency
response procedures and prac-
tices.
The Costa Concordia capsized
off the Tuscan island of Giglio on

Jan. 13 after the ship detoured
from its programmed route and
slammed into a reef. At least 11
people were killed and 21 are
missing.
"While I have every confi-
dence in the safety of our vessels
and the professionalism of our
crews, this review will evaluate
all practices and procedures to
make sure that this kind of acci-
dent doesn't happen again," Ari-
son said.
The review is being led by
retired U.S. Navy Capt. James
Hunn, who currently is the com-
pany's senior vice president of
Maritime Policy & Compliance.
Muon and executives from
each of the corporation's subsid-
iary cruise lines will review all
safety policies, employee train-
ing, bridge management and
response and support efforts.
Carnival reported that it also
is engaging outside experts to
audit of all of the company's
emergency response and safety
procedures. The outside experts
will also conduct a review of the
Costa Concordia accident.
"This company-wide initia-
tive will identify lessons learned
and best practices to further
ensure the security and safety of
all of our passengers and crew,"
chief operations officer Howard
Frank said.
Earlier yesterday, Cruise Line
International Association Presi-
dent and CEO Christine Duffy
called on the International Mar-
itime Organization to undertake
a comprehensive evaluation
from the findings of the Costa
Concordia investigation to
ensure the cruising industry
remains safe.
"While there is still a great
deal not yet known about this
incident, all of our members rec-
ognize the seriousness of these
events and want to ensure that
we apply the lessons learned
from this tragic event," Duffy
said in London.
Carnival's said in the news
release that it welcomes such an
evaluation.

Murdoch to pay Jude Law, 36
others for illegal eavesdropping "
Settlements give
vindication to
accusations
LONDON (AP) - Rupert Mur-
doch's media empire apologized
and agreed to cash payouts yes-
terday to 37 people - including a
movie star, a soccer player, a top
British politician and the son of a
serial killer - who were harassed
and phone-hacked by his tabloid
press.
The four - Jude Law, Ashley
Cole, John Prescott and Chris
Shipman - were among three
dozen victims who received
financial damages from Mur-
doch's British newspaper compa-
ny for illegal eavesdropping and
other intrusions, including email
snooping.
Lawyers for the claimants said
the settlements vindicated their
accusation that senior Murdoch
executives had long known about
the scale of illegal phone hacking
and had tried to cover it up.
News International, the par-
ent company of Murdoch's News
Group Newspapers, said it did
not admit that senior staff knew
of the wrongdoing and tried to
cover it up - but it said that "for
the purpose of reaching these
settlements only, News Group
Newspapers agreed that the
damages to be paid to claimants
should be assessed as if this was
the case."
Financial details of 15 of the
payouts, totaling more than
640,000 pounds (about $1 mil-
lion), were made public at a court
hearing yesterday. The amounts
generally ran into the tens of thou-
sands of pounds - although Law
received 130,000 pounds (about
$200,000), plus legal costs, to set-
tle claims against the now-shut-
tered News of the World tabloid
and its sister tabloid, The Sun.
Law was one of 60 people who
have sued News Group News-
papers, claiming their mobile
phone voicemails were hacked.
Others whose settlements were
announced yesterday at London's
High Court included former gov-
ernment ministers Chris Bryant
and Tessa Jowell, rugby player
Gavin Henson, Princess Diana's
former lover James Hewitt,
singer Dannii Minogue and Sara
Payne, the mother of a murdered
girl.
It was the largest group of
settlements announced yet in
the long-running hacking scan-
dal, which has shaken Murdoch's
global empire, spurred the resig-
nations of several of his top exec-
utives and reverberated through
Britain's political, police and
media elite.
Law, the star of "Sherlock
Holmes" and "The Talented
Mr. Ripley," said he was "truly
appalled" at the scale of surveil-
lance and privacy invasion that
his case had exposed.
"No aspect of my private life
was safe from intrusion by News
Group Newspapers, including the
lives of my children and the peo-
ple who work for me," he said in
a statement. "It was not just that
my phone messages were listened
to. News Group also paid people
to watch me and my house for
days at a time and to follow me
and those close to me, both inthis
country and abroad."
News Group Newspapers
admitted that 16 articles about
Law published in the News of
the World between 2003 and
2006 had been obtainedby phone
hacking, and that the actor had
also been placed under "repeated
and sustained physical surveil-
lance." The company also admit-
ted that articles in The Sun had
misused Law's private informa-
tion - although it didn't go as far
as to admit hacking by that paper.
Law said Murdoch's tabloids
had been "prepared to do any-
thing to sell their newspapers 0
and to make money, irrespective
of the impact it had on people's
lives."
