A CREW member has died and
a number of others have been
injured aboard NCL’s Norwegian
Breakaway during an incident
involving one of the ship’s rescue
boats undertaking a routine drill.
The vessel was docked in
Bermuda when the rescue boat
broke from its tethering and fell
into the water, according to the
local BER News website.
Four crew members were on the
boat at the time and were hurt
during the fall, with a 41-year-old
Filipino man succumbing to his
injuries after being admitted to
hospital.
Norwegian Cruise Line said it
was “profoundly saddened by this
loss and we share our deepest
sympathies with the crew
member’s family and loved ones
during this difficult time”.
The company is working closely
with authorities to investigate the
incident, which was not expected
to delay Breakaway’s departure.
