(ANSA) - Naples, January 30 - Francesco Schettino, the
captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship that capsized killing
32 people last year, told reporters on Wednesday that he would
"gladly return to the helm" of another cruise liner as
commander.
Schettino appeared at a hearing in Naples over his
employer Costa Crociere's decision to fire him last July.
The cruise company dismissed him after the January 13, 2012
disaster, when his Concordia cruise ship capsized off
the island of Giglio.
His lawyer argues the dismissal process used by the
company was not legitimate.
A decision is expected by February 8.
Schettino, who is facing a possible indictment for multiple
manslaughter, reportedly did not speak at the hearing and left
the court without comment.
