Who was onboard tech mogul Mike Lynch's Bayesian yacht?

Topic: Disasters, Accidents and Emergency Incidents

Six people are missing, including a man dubbed the British Bill Gates, after a luxury yacht sank off the Sicilian coast.

British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch — freshly acquitted from a decade-long trial — had invited his work colleagues aboard a trip through the Mediterranean coast when a freak storm saw the yacht sink within moments.

Fifteen people escaped from the sinking vessel. The search for the missing continues.

Here's what we know so far: 

What happened?

The Italian coastguard said the yacht — the Bayesian — was anchored off the shore of port city Porticello, near the Sicilian capital Palermo, when it was hit by bad weather sometime after 4am on Monday, local time. 

Eyewitnesses said it vanished quickly beneath the waves shortly before dawn.

Managers of the sailing vessel Bayesian, Camper & Nicholsons, confirmed to the ABC that the Bayesian encountered severe weather and subsequently sank. 

"Our priority is assisting with the ongoing search and providing all necessary support to the rescued passengers and crew," they said. 

"The wind was very strong. Bad weather was expected, but not of this magnitude," a coastguard official told Reuters.

Sicily's civil protection agency head, Salvo Cocina, said a waterspout — a tornado over the water — could have struck the yacht.

"They were in the wrong place at the wrong time," Mr Cocina added. 

Storms and heavy rainfall had swept down Italy in recent days after weeks of scorching heat, lifting the temperature of the Mediterranean Sea to record levels and raising the risk of extreme weather conditions, experts told Reuters.

"The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius, which is almost 3 degrees more than normal. This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms," meteorologist Luca Mercalli said.

Captain Karsten Borner of the Sir Robert Baden Powell vessel told journalists he noticed the Bayesian nearby during the storm, but after it calmed he saw a red flare and realised the ship had simply disappeared.

Mr Borner said he and a crew member boarded their tender and found a lifeboat with 15 people, some of them injured, who they then took aboard and alerted the coast guard.

Search crews, including helicopters and divers, are continuing to search the wreckage, lying at a depth of 49 metres.

Specialist divers reached the ship on Monday but access was limited due to objects in the way, the fire brigade said.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch is deploying a team of four inspectors to Italy to conduct a preliminary assessment.

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development office said it was "providing consular support to a number of British nationals and their families".

Sicilian prosecutors have also opened an investigation into the event. 

Who is missing?

Lawyer Chris Morvillo (left), entrepreneur Mike Lynch, and Morgan Stanley chairman Jonathan Bloomer are among the missing. 

There were 12 passengers and 10 crew members aboard the yacht. 

Mr Cocina said the crew and passengers hailed from a variety of countries, including Britain, the United States, Antigua, France, Germany, Ireland, Myanmar, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain.

Of the 22, one man is confirmed dead and another six people are still missing. 

They are believed to be inside the hull, fire rescue spokesperson Luca Cari said.

Fabio Cefalù, a fisherman who said he responded to a flare from the vessel but found it sunk, said he stayed at the site for three hours without finding anyone.

"I think they are inside, all the missing people," he said.

Rescue teams recovered the body of the yacht's onboard chef on Monday, identified as Antiguan citizen Ricardo Thomas.

The still missing people include: 

• Mr Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah 
• Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of global financial services company Morgan Stanley International
• Chris Morvillo , a lawyer at the British multinational law firm Clifford Chance. He worked on Mr Lynch's lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard
• The identities of the remaining two missing are still unconfirmed

Who was rescued? 

Fifteen people escaped from the sinking ship. 

Eight have been hospitalised and others were taken to a nearby hotel.

Among those rescued were:

• Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, who was the owner of the yacht
• Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter, Sofia. Ms Golunski is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm, Invoke Capital. She says she momentarily lost hold of Sofia in the water but managed to hold her up above the waves until the lifeboat was inflated
• Ms Golunski's husband James Emslie
• New Zealand captain of the yacht James Catfield. He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica the crew didn't see the storm coming
• A lone Dutch citizen was identified by the Dutch foreign ministry as being rescued, but was not identified

Who is Mike Lynch?

Mr Lynch, once hailed as Britain’s king of technology, was recently freed from a Silicon Valley lawsuit that tarnished his legacy. 

The 59-year-old Cambridge-educated mathematician created Autonomy , a search engine that could pore through emails and other internal business documents to help companies find vital information more quickly. 

He received the OBE for his innovation in 2006. 

He then sold the software to Hewlett-Packard (HP) for $US11 billion ($16 billion) in 2011, with Mr Lynch personally netting $US800 million. 

HP valued Autonomy at $US46 billion ($68 billion) in the months leading up to the deal.

But the deal quickly turned sour after he was accused of forging the software's financial records to make the sale.

As part of a decades-long legal battle against HP, Mr Lynch was extradited to the UK on criminal fraud charges. 

He steadfastly denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he was being made a scapegoat for HP's own bungling. 

He was eventually cleared of all charges in June this year. 

Although he avoided a possible prison sentence, Lynch still faced a bill from a civil case in London that HP mostly won during 2022. Damages haven't been determined in that case, but HP is seeking $US4 billion. 

Following the San Francisco trial, Mr Lynch said he would return to the UK and do what he loved most: "[being with] my family and innovating in my field."

The holiday appeared to be something of a celebration after Mr Lynch's acquittal, with guests including some of the people who had stood by Lynch throughout the ordeal.

In a separate act of tragedy, Mr Lynch's co-defendant in the trial, Stephen Chamberlain, died on Monday, after a road accident left him critically injured.

Mr Chamberlain — Autonomy's former vice-president of finance alongside Mr Lynch — was hit by a car in Cambridgeshire on Saturday morning and had been placed on life support. 

What is the Bayesian?

The luxury yacht is 56m long sailboat, with a 75m mast labelled as the tallest aluminium mast in the world.

It was previously named Salute when it flew under a Dutch flag.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, can accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites and a crew of 10, according to online specialist yacht sites. It was last refitted in 2020.

Online charter sites listed it for rent for up to 195,000 euros (about $AU 321,000) a week.

The ship also won a string of awards for its design. 

Ms Golunski said the yacht had travelled through the Aeolian Islands, Milazzo and Cefalù before sinking. 

It is likely the yacht's name would resonate with Mr Lynch because his PhD thesis and the software that made his fortune was based on Bayesian theory.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Giant cruise ships dominate tiny Cornish town – and this is what locals have to say about it

Share this with

On Saturday an enormous 58,000 tonne cruise ship sailed into the small Cornish port town of Fowey

The Nicko Cruises ship, which dwarfed the tiny yachts moored in the same harbour, brought with it 1,258 mostly German passengers, more than half the town’s population of 2,315.

It’s one of around 15 cruise ships a year that visit Fowey, pronounced Foy as in Joy, and according to reports last year locals weren’t happy about it.

There were apparently complaints about the boats being an ‘eyesore’ and bad for the environment, but a number of people have since posted on social media to say those living and working in the town actually love the ships and that they don’t pollute the harbour.

The Metro spoke to a number of residents and business owners this week, and it does appear the ships are very much welcomed.

Retired business owner Gary Barr, who move to the town six years ago with his wife Kay, is a big fan.

He said: ‘We think the ships are brill. They bring a bit of theatre to the town and some of them are really beautiful.

The 60-year-old said the boats are also a great source of income for local businesses.

‘At a time when so many businesses on the high street are closing, this helps keeps our shops, bars and restaurants open, which for locals is only a good thing,’ he told us.

Gary, a passionate sailor, hasn’t heard anyone from the area speak negatively about the ships.

‘The only negative stuff I’ve heard is from people who don’t live here. Basically keyboard warriors,’ he added.

‘I don’t think they realise the harbour has a long history of welcoming cargo ships. This is just a different type of cargo.’

Caroline Cooper, who has lived in the town for three years and opened clothing and homeware store ‘Shop @ Number 3’ two months ago, also speaks fondly of the ships.

‘I think we’re very lucky we can accommodate something so special,’ she said.

‘We become an advertisement for Cornwall and even the UK and we’re proud of that. And it creates such a buzz in the town.

‘I haven’t heard anyone here say anything bad about it. I spoke to a couple of other shop owners about the ships recently and they were also very positive.

Caroline even shared a video of Saturday’s cruise ship, a Portuguese vessel named Vasco da Gama, on her shop’s Instagram page and wrote: ‘My commute to work this morning. Some places get coaches. We get ships.’

Meanwhile, a Fowey pub and restaurant owner, who preferred not to be named, said she’d never heard of any locals or guests having an issue with the boats.

She added: ‘The guests say how wonderful it is. And we think it’s lovely too. If we hear the hooter we’ll run into dining room to see the ship come in.’

Captain Paul Thomas has been Fowey’s harbour master for the past 12 years and will board the cruise ships and pilot them in and out of the harbour.

‘I basically stand beside the captain and guide them,’ he explained. ‘I know the currents and depths well so can make sure it’s all done safely.’

Paul said last year’s criticisms of the cruise ships came from outsiders not locals.

‘Ships are part of this town’s DNA, there’s been a port here for 150 years and many people have families who have worked with them.

‘So for them cruise ships aren’t a problem. Everyone got really cross when the stories came out saying locals were angry about the ships as that’s not how they feel.

‘Someone actually did a survey on a local Facebook group at the time asking if people were for or against the ships and of those who responded 97% were for.’

He said there is real affection for the boats and people will often line the streets waving at them when they arrive.

‘It’s a bit of an event,’ he explained.

Like Gary, Paul believes the ships – which usually stay one night – are great for local businesses.

‘I was talking to a lady who runs a gallery here and she said she had lots of people from Saturday’s cruise ship spending money,’ he said.

Asked if the ships have a detrimental effect on the environment, Paul replied: ‘The environment is very important to us and we have policies to make sure ships don’t pollute.

‘The cruise ships have systems that prevent emissions from contaminating the water and, contrary to myth, pumping sewage from the boats into the sea is not allowed.’

He said there had never been complaints about the sound of the ship’s whistle.

‘In fact if I’m piloting a ship and don’t blow the whistle locals tell me off! They like hearing it.’

Last week it was announced Fowey Harbour has been shortlisted in the ‘Destination of the Year’ category of the international Seatrade Cruise Awards 2024

‘We’re very honoured! Fowey is up against places like Dubai and Ontario so it’s a big deal for us,’ said Paul.

He hopes the town can increase the number of visiting cruise ships to around 20 a year, but doesn’t want the number to go much higher than that.

‘It’s important to keep a balance. And if we have too many it won’t feel special anymore.’

This growth is driven by increasing global tourism and a rising demand for luxury cruise experiences. Cruise staff are essential for enhancing guest satisfaction through entertainment and services, making their roles critical as cruise lines expand their fleets and introduce new, innovative amenities to attract passengers.

Cruise Staff Job Requirements

Education: Cruise staff positions often require a high school diploma as a minimum, with a significant number holding bachelor’s degrees. Preferred fields of study include hospitality, tourism, business, or communication, reflecting the job’s diverse nature. Coursework in customer service, public speaking, and foreign languages can be advantageous, preparing candidates for the multifaceted interactions and responsibilities encountered on board. A strong educational background in these areas supports the development of skills necessary for success in the dynamic environment of cruise entertainment and guest services.

Experience: Cruise staff candidates typically possess a blend of experience in hospitality, customer service, and entertainment. Prior work on cruise ships or in related sectors like hotels, resorts, or theme parks is highly valued. On-the-job training is common, allowing staff to familiarize themselves with ship operations, safety protocols, and company standards. Many cruise lines also offer specialized training programs to enhance skills in guest interaction, event management, and emergency response, ensuring staff are well-prepared to create memorable experiences for passengers.

Certifications & Licenses: Cruise staff typically do not require specific certifications or licenses. However, a Basic Safety Training (BST) certificate, compliant with the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW), is often necessary. Additionally, a valid passport and sometimes a seafarer’s health and medical certificate, verifying fitness for sea duty, may be required. Certifications in first aid or CPR can be beneficial.

Cruise Staff Skills

Guest Relations: Patience and a positive attitude are essential when addressing a broad spectrum of passenger inquiries, complaints, and requests. Cruise staff must ensure every guest feels heard, valued, and satisfied by employing excellent verbal and written communication skills and quickly devising solutions that enhance the onboard experience.

Entertainment Scheduling: A balanced and engaging itinerary is crafted through an in-depth understanding of guest demographics and the variety of onboard entertainment options. Coordination and meticulous planning are required to ensure events flow seamlessly, catering to all ages and interests, thereby enriching the cruise experience.

Skills include guiding passengers to muster stations, operating life-saving equipment, and maintaining clear communication with crew and guests during high-stress situations.

By facilitating smoother interactions, from addressing inquiries to resolving issues, staff ensure all guests feel welcomed and understood, significantly enhancing their experience.

Conflict Resolution: Handling disagreements and tensions, whether among passengers or between crew and guests, requires the ability to de-escalate situations through active listening, empathy, and problem-solving. A harmonious onboard environment is maintained, contributing to the enjoyment and safety of all.

Activity Coordination: Orchestrating a diverse array of onboard activities demands an acute ability to gauge guest interests and adapt schedules accordingly. From lively deck parties to serene art classes, staff ensure that every passenger finds engaging and memorable experiences during their voyage.

Cruise Staff Work Environment

Cruise staff operate in a unique, floating environment where the ocean is their backyard and the ship, their home and workplace. Their workspace is dynamic, shifting from the sun-drenched decks to the various entertainment venues onboard. Equipped with microphones, activity materials, and sometimes costumes, they bring the cruise experience to life.

Work hours for cruise staff are unconventional, blending early mornings, late nights, and everything in between, depending on the day’s activities and events. The dress code varies, requiring professional attire for events and casual wear for daytime activities, always with an emphasis on neatness and appropriateness.

The social environment is vibrant, with interactions not just among team members but also with guests from around the world, making every day a new cultural exchange. This constant interaction demands a high level of emotional intelligence and adaptability.

Despite the allure of travel and the camaraderie among staff, the job demands a significant commitment, often blurring the lines between work and personal time, challenging the notion of work-life balance. However, for those passionate about creating memorable experiences and embracing a life at sea, it offers an unparalleled opportunity.

Advancement Prospects

Cruise staff have a dynamic pathway for career advancement within the cruise industry, often starting from entry-level positions and moving up to roles such as Cruise Director or even into operations and management. Advancement typically involves gaining experience in various departments, showcasing leadership skills, and demonstrating exceptional guest service.

To progress, individuals should focus on excelling in their current role, taking on additional responsibilities, and showing an aptitude for team management and event coordination. Understanding the intricacies of cruise operations, from entertainment to guest relations, is crucial.

Moving up often requires a willingness to relocate or switch ships, as opportunities for advancement may not always be available on the same vessel. Success in this career path is marked by versatility, adaptability, and a deep commitment to creating memorable experiences for passengers.

In 2018, AIDA homeported in Rostock two liners - AIDAdiva and AIDAmar , for a total of 43 roundtrips.

On September 19, 2018, Rostock Port Authority announced that by 2020 will be available shoreside-power connection capabilities in both seaports (Rostock and Warnemunde), providing berthed cruise vessels with shoreside electrical power.

• Shoreside power (aka cold ironing, shore-to-ship power) allows docked ships to turn off their engines and use electricity supplied by the city's power network.
• The shore powerplant was completed in 2020 and is currently Europe's largest - having a power output 20 MVA (megavolt amperes) and the ability to supply with electricity 2x cruise ships simultaneously - at Warnemunde's berths P7 and P8.
• The shore powerplant was officially inaugurated on May 10, 2021, with AIDAsol - this ship needs 4,5 MWh (megawatts per hour) of electricity while docked. The ceremony was attended by Peter Altmaier (Germany's Federal Minister for Economic Affairs), Manuela Schwesig (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state's Prime Minister) and Felix Eichhorn ( AIDA Cruises ' President).
• Since 2017, AIDAsol uses electricity from Europe's first shore powerplant - at Altona Terminal ( Hafen Hamburg ).

In mid-October 2018, Rostock LNG GmbH (joint venture gas company of the Belgian Fluxys and the Russian Novatek OAO) signed a land lease deal with Port Rostock for an LNG storage terminal. Rostock LNG GmbH (Fluxys 51%, Novatek 49%) will build and operate the new LNG terminal by serving LNG carriers and providing gas distribution and bunkering services. Gas carriers will be loaded at Novatek's facility in Port Vysotsk (near St Petersburg).

On November 28, 2018, was officially inaugurated one of Europe's most advanced welding plants at MV WERFTEN Rostock GmbH's shipyard. The plant's automation provider was the 1970-founded Finnish company Pemamek Oy Ltd. Yard's new Hall 11 is a highly efficient, semi-automatic plant specializing in steel prefabrication of panels with max size 25x16 m (82x52 ft). Shipyard's panel line is the only one in Germany and features a one-sided butt welding station (PEMA OSW-M 12000 equipment) with laser-hybrid welding head and additional MAG tandem welding heads with integrated milling, automated assembling (2-sided fillet welding of profiles) and programmable robots. This EUR 100 million innovation project was also supported by Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (state) and Germany's Federal Government with EUR 6 million. Shipyard's all 3 halls have a total of 25 workstations. Up to 150 employees per shift work in medium term.

Due to the COVID crisis, in 2021 the Port handled only 47 ship calls (~100,000 passengers). In 2019 (before COVID) were handled 196 ship calls and 600,000+ tourists.

Pier 1 to 8 is actually the cruise terminal in Warnemunde , which is a town nearby. The other docks are in the town of Rostock. The information underneath only applies to the docks in Rostock.

The cruise dock in Rostock has limited facilities. Because of the remote location of the dock your cruise line should offer a shuttle service into Rostock. Check this with the front office on board of your ship. The cruise dock in Rostock is about 13 km away from the city centre of Rostock.

Taxis in Rostock

There are usually taxis available at the port. Negotiate a price before you step in. Expect a taxi to Rostock will cost you about 25 euro one way.

Getting from Rostock to Berlin by train
