The Embassy of Italy in Colombo is providing assistance to the other 20 Italian nationals aboard the Duke of York who took part in the expedition together with the five Italian nationals who have died.<\/p>\n
The Embassy has been in contact with the Red Crescent, which has offered to deploy trained volunteers to provide Psychological First Aid to the Italians still on board the Duke of York, among whom no injuries have been reported. However, due to adverse weather conditions, it is not yet clear whether they will be able to reach the vessel in distress, which has in the meantime moved in search of a safe harbour. The vessel is awaiting an improvement in weather conditions in order to return to Mal\u00e9.<\/p>\n
The Embassy is also in contact with DAN, an insurance provider specialising in coverage for divers. DAN plans to coordinate with the local authorities to provide support both for the recovery of the bodies, offering its technical expertise, and for their repatriation. The insurance provider has also offered technical specialist assistance to contribute to a better understanding of the circumstances of the incident.<\/p>\n
The Embassy and the Honorary Consul remain in contact with the families to provide support with the necessary administrative formalities.<\/p>\n
