ABSTRACT

Hungarian boat, Hableány, collided on the Danube river in Hungary's capital with Viking Sigyn, a larger luxury passenger boat of Switzerland during a rainstorm on 29 May 2019, causing it to capsize and sink with 26 South Koreans and two Hungarian crew dead or missing. Hableány was owned and operated by Panorama Deck Ltd, a Hungarian company, while Viking Sigyn is owned and operated by Swiss-based Viking Cruises Ltd. It was not immediately clear which vessel was responsible for the collision, a rare incident on the Danube where navigation is busy but generally safe. The Sinking of Hableány is similar to the sinking of MV Sewol of 2014 in massive casualties. However, there are many differences in the area and location of the sinking, the cause of the sinking, the person involved, the governing law, etc. The Sinking of Hableány occurred in a EU member state, and the shipwrecked ship and the assailant ship are all in EU member states. Thus, it is likely that EU laws will be applied in a number of legal issues. Accordingly, it is necessary to analyze relevant EU laws.
