US Coast Guard says Carnival Triumph fire was sparked by fuel leak
(MCT) — MIAMI — The engine room blaze that disabled Carnival Cruise Lines’ Triumph for five days in the Gulf of Mexico was sparked because of a leak in a fuel line, according to a U.S. Coast Guard investigator.
Lt. Cmdr. Teresa Hatfield, marine casualty investigation team leader for the agency, said in a conference call with reporters that the Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board will likely wrap up work on the ship by the end of the week.
