The two highest-ranking officers of a Greek passenger ship will spend years in jail after being found guilty over the death of a passenger in Piraeus 18 months ago.

The second master of the 27,200-gt ropax Blue Horizon (built 1987) was found directly responsible for the manslaughter of 36-year-old labourer Antonis Kargiotis in an abuse of power and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
