| 摘要： | It often takes a tragedy to bring issues into focus. Last year, a devastating fire broke out aboard the passenger dive boat Conception off California's Santa Cruz Island. The Conception was a passenger diving vessel chartering cruises for divers interested in exploring the Channel Islands. The fire resulted in 34 deaths; five crewmem-bers escaped with injuries. The fire was the deadliest marine accident in modern California history. A preliminary investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that five crewmembers were asleep in the upper deck wheel-house when the fire broke out, and there was no roving watch, as required by Coast Guard regulations. Beyond those immediate contributing factors, the tragedy triggered a deeper review of the fire protection requirements for class Subchapter T vessels and other small boats under 100 gross tons that carry 150 or fewer passengers and/or have overnight accommodations for 48 or fewer passengers. |
