A number of Marigold’s engine room fire doors were held open by wire and/or rope. The open doors allowed the smoke to spread across the engine room and into the accommodation spaces.
Proactive safety action taken
All KLCSM ships are now required to have signs on fire doors requiring the doors to be kept closed. The company’s superintendents will inspect each ship for compliance with this procedure and the condition of each fire door. It has also committed to providing fire prevention and response training to all crewmembers across the fleet.
