[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] Argh. The MS Zaandam (Holland-America) I took on that Hawaiian cruise a couple of weeks ago is a Fincantieri-built ship. I wonder how many cruise ships were built there. (Later. It seems that quite a number of cruise ships have been built by Fincantieri, perhaps more than any other shipbuilder. Judging from the commentary on Cruise Critic, possibly it is poor maintenance or some other source that causes these fires rather than anything to do with the shipyard. There seems to be no clear cause and effect link. Internet forum discussions on this issue seem to be fueled by unsupported opinion rather than actual reports from official investigative bodies. (In the case of the Costa Concordia, a Fincantieri ship, it appears to have been the negligence of the captain that caused the wreck. (By the way, at dinner one night the captain of Zaandam came on the ship's intercom, or whatever it's called, to send fire teams to a location on one of the passenger decks. Turns out the cause was a faulty icemaker in one of the crew utility rooms, and the fire was put out quickly.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
