McALLEN, Texas (AP) – Carnival Cruise Lines knew about the risk of leaks from engine fuel hoses and recommended taking precautions on the ill-fated Carnival Triumph that later caught on fire at sea, according to court documents.
A compliance notice report sent to the Triumph one month before it departed Galveston on Feb. 7 for what was planned as a four-day cruise recommended spray shields be installed on engines’ flexible fuel hoses, according to the documents filed Tuesday by Carnival Cruise Lines in federal court in Miami.
