A Scottish cruise passenger is missing from an MSC cruise ship, with reports from family members on Facebook that he has jumped from the ship.
Liam Jones, 23 and from Dundee, was cruising on MSC Euribia when he went missing on 17th March, as the ship sailed from Hamburg to Rotterdam.
He was cruising with his family, with extended family members on the Cruise Law News Facebook page confirming that his mum and sister were on the ship at the same time.
Those same extended family members have stated that MSC Cruises has informed them of CCTV footage which shows Liam jumping from the ship and that he is now presumed dead.
This is the sixth guest to go overboard from an MSC cruise within the last four months from December 2023 to March 2024.
Many cruise ships are equipped with sensors to alert the crew when someone goes overboard, and will stop the ship to search for someone in the ocean for at least a few hours in most cases.
But the sensors don’t always catch everything, and so if the crew aren’t alerted to a passenger going overboard, it will often be too late for anything to be done.
