Bahamian authorities were investigating two deaths after an explosion in a Holland America Line cruise ship.
Authorities from the Netherlands were sent to the Bahamas to investigate a fatal accident on board a Holland America Line cruise ship late last week. The accident in the engineering space of the Nieuw Amsterdam left two crew members dead.The ship operates under a Dutch flag, and warranted a response from the Dutch Safety Board (OVV). The independent body is required to investigate incidents involving shipping, aviation and the railroad sectors, as well as the chemical and petrochemical sectors.
Named as engineer Joseph Terrado and wiper Wawan Gusnawan by a maritime lawyer, the two were killed by an explosion on board the Nieuw Amsterdam ship at around 9am Friday.
Two Holland America employees who died in a cruise ship’s engineering space were allegedly boiled in a steam explosion – and the captain reportedly cried when he announced the tragedy to the passengers.
