⚓ The Brindisi Incident: A Technical Overview
In early October 2026, the 30.48-meter Sanlorenzo yacht John was struck by a devastating fire while moored at Marina di Brindisi. Emergency teams battled the blaze through the night, but the vessel suffered severe structural damage and partial sinking. Thanks to the prompt response of the Fratelli Barretta salvage team, environmental damage was mitigated.
