( CNN ) -- Costa Cruises introduced seven new safety measures over the weekend during a ceremony celebrating the delivery of the company 's new $ 665 million flagship . A new real-time route monitoring system , electronic tracking of guest safety training and changes that will allow more crew members to issue orders , are among the initiatives being adopted by the company in the wake of the Costa Concordia disaster . Under the new rules , Costa cruise guests will receive emergency training before the ship leaves port and officers in uniform must be present during safety training . `` This ensures the training has proper solemnity and gives guests an opportunity to ask any questions or express concerns they might have directly with an officer , '' Costa said in a document outlining the new procedures . At least 30 people were killed when Costa Concordia ran aground on January 13 off the shore of the Italian island of Giglio . Some survivors complained that they had not been instructed in emergency procedures . International regulations require that passengers receive instruction within 24 hours of departure . In February , three cruise industry associations announced new standards exceeding that rule by requiring muster drills before leaving port . Under Costa 's new rules , guests will receive an electronic card to be scanned during safety drills . Guests who miss the initial training will be tracked electronically and invited to attend training the following day . Guests who do not attend either session will receive written safety guidelines . Officers will be more involved in decision making under a new bridge management model . `` According to the new model , the Captain maintains intervention power as required by law , but is no longer the only person who issues orders , '' the Costa document said . The Concordia 's captain , Francesco Schettino , remains under house arrest while he is investigated for possible criminal charges . He faces allegations of manslaughter , causing the shipwreck , abandoning ship and failing to report the accident . Costa will also limit access to a ship 's bridge during critical navigation phases , following a standard established by Cruise Lines International Association last month , and a new monitoring system will allow Costa to control the position and course of all of its ships in real time . The cruise line 's new ship , Costa Fascinosa , was delivered in Venice on Saturday , along with sister ship Costa Favolosa . Costa Fascinosa , a $ 665 million ship that can carry up to 3,800 passengers , is the largest Italian-flagged cruise ship afloat . `` The delivery of the Costa Fascinosa is an important stepping stone on our Company 's road to recovery , '' Costa CEO Pier Luigi Foschi said .
New Costa safety rules allow crew members to issue orders . Guest safety training will be tracked electronically . Access to a ship 's bridge will be limited during critical navigation phases .
