Marine Accident Report - Fire Aboard the Bahamian Passenger Ship M/V SCANDINAVIAN SUN, Port of Miami, Miami, Florida, August 20, 1984
About 2300, August 20, 1984, a fire erupted in the auxiliary machinery (generator) room and spread to adjoining spaces of the Bahamian registered passenger ship SCANDINAVIAN SUN shortly after it docked at the Port of Miami Terminal, Miami, Florida. It had just completed a daily 14-hour round trip cruise to Freeport, Bahamas, with 530 passengers and 201 crewmembers on board. One passenger and one crewmember died as a result of smoke inhalation, 4 persons received minor injuries, and 58 persons were treated for smoke inhalation. Damage and repair cost was estimated to be $2.3 million. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the fire on board the SCANDINAVIAN SUN was the crew's failure to tighten a threaded pipe fitting on the No. 1 diesel generator's lubricating oil line adequately which allowed the fitting to vibrate free and oil to spray from the line which ignited when it contacted the hot exhaust manifold of the engine.
