The lifeboat took him to the safety of shore even as hundreds of panic-stricken passengers and crew were trying to flee the listing ship in the darkness, inching their way down rope ladders and clambering into wobbling lifeboats.
“I created the most optimal conditions to save everybody, independently of how events were unfolding,” he wrote.

He defended himself from accusations that he delayed giving the order to abandon the ship for far too long.
“A ship is in fact the best lifeboat that exists. The captain needs to take his time to evaluate the emergency without creating panic. It is he alone who is responsible – first before God, and then before men.” Francesco Verusio, the chief prosecutor in the case, said: “Schettino is playing his game, but it will be the judge to decide how things went that night.”
The next pretrial hearing in the case will take place in Grosseto, Tuscany, on July 21.
