The company operating a cruise ship that capsized after hitting rocks off western Italy on Friday says the captain may have "committed errors".
"The route followed by the ship turned out to be too close to the coast, and it seems that his decision in handling the emergency didn't follow Costa Crociere's procedures which are in line, and in some cases, go beyond, international standards," the statement added.
