The families of the two firefighters who died while fighting a fire on a Grimaldi Group-operated ro-ro off New Jersey plan to sue all parties found responsible for the early July blaze.

Grimaldi Deep Sea-operated, 3,950-lane-metre Grande Costa d’Avorio (built 2011) sustained an extensive fire on its upper levels on 5 July while stevedores were finishing loading 1,200 used cars and 157 containers in Port Newark.
