ANYONE CLAIMED COMPENSATION FOR DELAYED FERRY?

[funman]

I am attempting to claim compensation from Anek ferries for a 24 hour delay on a crossing from Patras to Ancona, under EU regulation 1177/2010, or more precisely Paragraph 28 of Guidance Note 6.0 Chapter III of EU regulation no. 1177/2010. This can be seen at the following website:



Anek have offered compensation of 50% but only on the cost of the passenger fare, not that of the vehicle. My reading of the regulation paragraph 28 seems to clearly state the the vehicle cost should be included. However Anek claim that the EU commission have clarified that the vehicle is not included, but they only have this clarification in Greek, which of course I can't read, ( and i don't trust google translate to make much sense of a legal document).

Has anyone on here succeeded with such a claim and was the vehicle ticket price included on the calculation for compensation?

Hi.
Half a loaf is better than non. Watched a program years ago about the "Meat Merry Go Round". It involved meat being transported into the UK,then back and forth across the channel,clocking up subsidies. They traced Mr Big. to an office in Italy i believe,this office was something else,wood panneling and all,him in a very sharp suit . When it was pointed out to him this was against the law,he sat back and said words to the effect. " You can make/pass all the laws you like,you don't have to enforce them all"........ Unless you are dealing UK style,its all up for grabs when dealing outside... The "B" word? I rest my case.

I believe although the agreement is an EU initiative and several companies recognise the priciple not all accept the conditions attached to the schedule.
There was a similar incident with Transair not accepting a CAA, ruling something to do with not .............. pass a plan but not sticking to it.

Ask the question of the EU here;

If they agree you can even get them to do the hard work on your behalf.

Yes correct but only if you are applying from a EU country

Fifteen years ago I used to help out on a farm, receiving hay for my goats as compensation. He regularly shipped veal calves over on one ferry and back on the next to obtain grants/subsidies.
The veal calves ended up, eventually, in veal and ham pies at the Walls factory on the Great North Rd.
