”’Jonathan Bloomer, the chair of Morgan Stanley International, is one of the 6 individuals who are still unaccounted for following the sinking of a yacht off the coast of Italy.”’

Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife are among the six people still missing after a mega-yacht sank off the coast of Italy Monday morning, according to officials and reports.

Bloomer remains unaccounted for after the Bayesian — a 184-foot luxury sailboat — capsized with 22 people aboard off the port of Porticello after it was struck by a tornado, Salvatore Cocina, head of the civil protection agency in Sicily, said.

His wife is also missing, The Daily Mail reported.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, 59, and his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, have also not been found since the ship wrecked.

The Italian agency also confirmed that Chris Morvillo, an attorney at British law firm Clifford Chance, which represented Lynch in a massive fraud case in California earlier this year, is also missing, The Guardian reported.

The Post has reached out to Morgan Stanley and Clifford Chance for comment.

The ship’s chef, Canadian-born Thomas Recaldo, was confirmed dead by Italian officials and his body was recovered.

Bloomer, reportedly a close friend of Lynch’s, is also the chairman of insurance provider Hiscox and was formerly the chief executive of Prudential, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Fifteen others onboard, including Lynch’s wife Angela Bacares — who owns the ship — and a one-year-old girl, managed to escape the superyacht before it went down. The boat was carrying a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers when it sank.

Eight of those rescued were taken to local hospitals, officials said.

Charlotte Golunski, 36, saved her 1-year-old daughter, Sophia, from the sinking ship by keeping her afloat in the rough waters.

Domenico Cipolla, a chief physician at the Di Cristina hospital in Palermo, said the mother and daughter are recovering.

“The baby is doing well,” he said. “The mother is also in good condition, albeit with some minor abrasions. The father will also be discharged from the hospital soon.

“They have said that most of them were colleagues who worked for Lynch. They are deeply traumatized,” he continued. “As time passes, they realize more and more that this morning they lost many friends.”

The Italian coast guard deployed divers to the wreckage to search for survivors some 160 feet deep.

Authorities believe some of the missing passengers may have been trapped inside their rooms when the yacht sank, BBC reported.

Lynch, a billionaire once dubbed the UK’s answer to Steve Jobs, was acquitted just two months ago by a San Francisco jury of fraud charges linked to the sale of his software company, Autonomy, to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011.

The trip had been organized by Lynch to celebrate his legal victory, the Daily Mail reported.

In a shocking twist, Lynch’s co-defendent in the case, Stephen Chamberlain, died on Monday after he was struck by a car in the Cambridgeshire, UK, Reuters reported. Chamberlain, the former vice president of finance at Autonomy, was 52 years old.

The Bayesian was built by Italian shipbuilder Perini in 2008 and was last refitted in 2020. It is owned by a firm called Revtom Limited — of which Bacares wife is named as the sole shareholder.

The captain of a boat who was anchored next to the Bayesian told Reuters he had turned on his engine to keep control of his vessel and avoid a collision with the giant yacht when strong winds suddenly rolled in.

What do you think? Post a comment.

“We managed to keep the ship in position and after the storm was over, we noticed that the ship behind us was gone,” Karsten Borner told reporters. The other boat “went flat on the water, and then down,” he added.

He said his crew then found some of the survivors on a life raft – inlcuding Golunski and her baby – and took them on board before the coast guard picked them up.
