Dhaka's marine court has found a ferry owner and nine staff guilty of causing the Coco-4 ferry to capsize in Bangladesh in 2009.
The accident killed 81 people, with others said to be missing.
Judge Begum Shammi Hasina Parvin handed down four-year jail terms to workers and ordered the vessel's owner Rahman Shipyard to pay BDT 480,000 ($5,882) in compensation to the victims' families.
