Boiler explosion on SS Norway blamed on faulty maintenance

Posted on January 26, 2008 by BB
A boiler explosion aboard the SS Norway which killed 8 crew members and injured 17 in 2003 has been determined to be due to the improper maintenance and inspection of the ship’s team chamber. The SS Norway was Norwegian Cruise Line’s only steam-powered ship, and was once the world’s largest passenger ship.

According to a report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board, NCL shipboard engineers were aware of the cracking of the boiler but did not take appropriate action.
