A 41-year-old Filipino crew member who died during a safety training drill has been named as Diogenes Carpio.

He was one of four workers aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Breakaway who plunged into the sea at King’s Wharf in Dockyard at the island’s west end after a lifeboat broke from its tethering just before noon.

Officials say another 41-year-old Filipino man has been flown to the United States for further medical treatment, while a 25-year-old Romanian man and a 31-year-old Indian man have been discharged from hospital after being treated.

The cruise ship arrived from New York last Wednesday carrying 4,300 passengers, and is due to return to the US east coast today.

Government’s health and safety officer and the Department of Maritime Administration are continuing inquiries into the circumstances of the incident.
