French investigators pointed to crew preparation and equipment troubles among factors contributing to the September death of a crew member on a Royal Caribbean Cruises vessel during an abandon ship drill.
The report by the French Marine Casualties Investigation Board (Beamer) and released by the Bahamas Maritime Authority comes more than seven months after a lifeboat on the 5,400-berth Harmony of the Seas (built 2016) fell to the sea during a drill at the port of Marseilles.
