An arrest warrant was issued yesterday for the Carnival Triumph, a 2,758-passenger cruise liner based in Galveston, Texas, that is owned by the same company that owns the Costa Concordia, according to the lawsuit also filed yesterday in federal court in Galveston by the family of Siglinde Stumpf. Carnival Triumph provides year-round service from the Houston area to multiple ports in the Caribbean and Mexico, according to Carnival’s website.

A Carnival Cruise Lines' cruise ship was ordered held in a Texas port by a U.S. judge in a $10 million lawsuit filed by the family of a German tourist who died aboard the Costa Concordia shipwreck off the Italian coast, the Bloomberg news agency reports.

"The court finds that the conditions for an attachment of defendants’ joint and collective property within this district, mainly the MS Carnival Triumph, appear to exist upon an admiralty and maritime claim," U.S. Magistrate Judge John Froeschner of Galveston said in the warrant.

The Carnival Triumph will be allowed to unload passengers and cargo and move between berths within the port until a "prompt hearing" can be scheduled, at which "the plaintiff shall be required to show why the attachment and garnishment should not be vacated," according to the order.

Carnival Cruise Lines is part of the Carnival Corp & plc group that also owns Costa Crociere. Carnival Triumph, which is of 101,509 gross tons, was built in Italy in 1999.
