Video: Costa Allegra: passengers may be stuck onboard for another 40 hours Of course the main power is not working for twenty hours at least and there is just emergency power, I mean there is just light and just communication this is the minimum that a battery can work. So there is no air condition, there is no facility working, there is no light on for the passengers, so this is not the best situation for them," he said. We hope that now we are giving, the company (Costa Cruises) is giving them food, supplies, radio and batteries just to get them to have the better condition to wait for another twenty-five might be forty hours. Captain Nicastro said. Asked why the passengers would not be transferred onto another ship that could move faster, Captain Nicastro said: "The most safe place for the passengers is the ship. The ship is in safety condition, it is stable, it is still moving with the fishing boat tugging her. So the safest place for the people is on the boat. There is no reason to disembark people to put on another ship or put on a helicopter. Costa Cruises is still reeling from the tragic Costa Concordia accident that occurred on January 13 after the liner hit rocks off the Italian island of Giglio, killing at least 25 people. Divers and rescue workers are still searching for the bodies of seven missing people. Italy's coastguard will now send an investigative team to the Seychelles to look into the second accident in just over a month relating to a Costa cruise ship. A team from the Italian coastguard is going there just to check what happened, just to understand. I know you talk about the big accident of the Costa Concordia of course they are two different situations, totally different conditions so they are not related accidents between Costa Allegra and Costa Concordia. But what I would like to point out is that every year millions of passengers go in cruises over all parts of the world, and they are safe. So for passengers, still the cruise liners are a safe way to spend a vacation. Nicastro said.
