Report into fatal cruise accident
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch has cited inadequate supervision and improper manning levels on a cruise liner following a fatal accident.
A 39-year-old Filipino crew member on the Thomson Celebration received fatal injuries last September while trying to manoeuvre a lifeboat tender.
The liner was preparing to leave St Peter Port when the accident happened.
Columbia Shipmanagement has undertaken a full safety review and a safety officer is now on duty at all times.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report was also critical of the boat's safety management system.
It said there was inadequate shipboard supervision of the tender operation, manning levels were not in accordance with specified levels and the in-house training scheme was inconsistently applied.
