The deadly 2023 fire aboard the Grande Costa d’Avorio at Port Newark has sparked sharp criticism from the NTSB, which says Newark firefighters were unprepared for shipboard blazes. Two firefighters died after becoming trapped below decks, where visibility was poor and training was even poorer. The NTSB pointed fingers at everything from the fire response (which accidentally made the fire worse) to a Jeep Wrangler used as a “car pusher” in violation of OSHA rules. While the ship’s crew followed procedures, the design of a garage door and lack of external controls also hampered firefighting efforts. Some changes are already underway—Grimaldi has fixed its doors, and Ports America ditched the Jeep—but training remains an issue. So far, Newark firefighters have only completed a 4-hour online class. The NTSB isn’t impressed, calling for nationwide reforms.
