US accident investigators have called for better training for land-based firefighters to tackle ship blazes after two men died while trying to put out a fire on a Grimaldi Group-operated ro-ro.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said technical defects and an “ineffective” emergency response contributed to the deaths of the firefighters in July 2023 on the 3,950-lane-metre Grande Costa d’Avorio (built 2011).
