The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has blamed an April 2022 engine fire on board an Endo Tankers MR2 product tanker on improper maintenance.
The blaze on the 46,800-dwt Endo Breeze (built 2003) caused $1.2m in damages, the NTSB said in a report released on Thursday.
The Endo Breeze was transiting through the Raritan Bay West Reach channel near Staten Island, New York, on 29 April 2022 when a blaze broke out in its engine room.
