  • The Moby Prince disaster was a major maritime accident resulting in 140 deaths. It occurred in the late evening of Wednesday 10 April 1991, in the harbor of Livorno, Italy. It is the worst disaster in the Italian merchant navy since World War II. It is also considered one of the two worst environmental disasters in Italian history, along with the explosion and loss of the tanker Amoco Milford Haven on the following day in an unrelated accident near Voltri. MV Moby Prince, a ferry owned by Navigazione Arcipelago Maddalenino (NAVARMA) Lines collided with the oil tanker Agip Abruzzo, sparking an extensive fire that ravaged the ship. The only survivor of the crew and passengers of the ferry was a young ship's boy, Alessio Bertrand from Naples. The other 140 on board were killed by the fire or toxic fumes. On 28 May 1998 the ship's hull sank while impounded in a dock in Leghorn Harbour; it was later refloated and sent to be scrapped in Turkey. (en)
  • Il disastro del Moby Prince è stato un sinistro marittimo avvenuto la sera del 10 aprile 1991, quando il traghetto Moby Prince, di proprietà della Nav.Ar.Ma., entrò in collisione con la petroliera Agip Abruzzo nella rada del porto di Livorno. In seguito all'urto si sviluppò un vasto incendio, alimentato dal petrolio fuoriuscito dalla petroliera, che avvolse il traghetto e causò la morte di tutte le 140 persone che, tra passeggeri ed equipaggio, si trovavano a bordo; l'unico sopravvissuto fu il giovane mozzo napoletano Alessio Bertrand. Non è mai stato possibile stabilire esattamente quanto greggio sia stato versato sul Moby; secondo l'ing. Del Bene, nominato come consulente di parte civile nel processo, si trattò di una quantità compresa tra le 100 e le 300 tonnellate. Il 28 maggio 1998 la nave, rimasta ormeggiata nel porto di Livorno e posta sotto sequestro probatorio, affondò; fu poi recuperata e avviata alla demolizione in Turchia. Solo nel gennaio 2018 è stata pubblicata la relazione finale della Commissione parlamentare d'inchiesta su quella che è stata, in termini di perdita di vite umane, la più grave tragedia che abbia colpito la Marina mercantile italiana dal secondo dopoguerra.
