The Syrian master of the 'Lady Aziza' was sentenced to two years and 10 months in prison. In the morning of Dec 28, 2014, the ship had run into the port side of the cargo m/v 'Gokbel' which sank. Five crew members died when the ship sank within a few minutes. The criminal proceedings ended in the afternoon of May 24, 2018, with a plea bargaining for crimes of negligence and negligent homicide. The investigation revealed a contest of the two master's fault, for lack of vigilance: the Syrian was the only one who could be prosecuted, because the other one died as a result of the impact.
