Thanks to the support of the local Consulate of Italy in Imirne, the soldiers of the Port Authority have managed to verify directly in Turkey that the demolition of the unit was occurred according to processes in contrast with those provided for the merchant units of the flag of the countries of the European Union. Investigations recognized and confirmed also by subsequent investigations by the Turkish Maritime Authority.
