The Port Authority of Genoa is engaged in the research of a 75 year old woman who disappeared last night from the MSC Opera arriving from Civitavecchia to the port of Genoa.

An Italian newspaper says that the passenger was not aboard the MSC cruise ship when it arrived in Genoa.  

Searches are under currently way with three patrol boats and two helicopters deployed. 

This latest overboard occurred on the same night when a 43 year old passenger went overboard from the Star Breeze in Italian waters but she was rescued when the cruise ship turned around.
