Stefan Schultheis is the publisher of this website and is responsible for the editorial selection, presentation and publication of its content.

Due to his current circumstances, the publisher presently has no permanent personal postal address. Where postal correspondence or a current address for formal notification is required, please contact the publisher by email first.

Purpose and nature of the website

themaiffiles.fr is an independent, privately operated and non-commercial documentation project concerning the incident involving the sailing vessel SANKARA on 9 January 2026 in Argostoli, Greece, and the subsequent dispute concerning, in particular, the assessment of the damage and compensation.

The website is intended to document the case chronologically, make selected evidence accessible and distinguish as clearly as possible between documented facts, positions of the parties, allegations and matters that remain disputed.

The website does not sell products or paid services and does not provide legal, insurance or claims-handling services.

Independence

This website is an independent publication.

It is not operated, commissioned, approved, sponsored or endorsed by MAIF, its insured or any other party to the dispute.

The name MAIF and the names of persons, vessels, companies and organisations are used only where necessary to identify parties or matters relevant to the documented case.

Editorial responsibility

Publisher and person responsible for editorial content: Stefan Schultheis

Technical or organisational assistance provided by third parties does not give those parties editorial authority over the content published on the website.

Where matters are disputed, the website seeks to distinguish between documentary facts, Stefan Schultheis' own account, the positions of other parties, allegations that have not been finally established and questions that remain unresolved.
