LangCommLive assists paralyzed cruise ship

On November 10th 2010 the Carnival Cruise Lines ship, Carnival Splendor, sustained an engine fire whilst located off the West coast of Mexico. There were no injuries to the 3,299 passengers or 1,167 crew members on board.

During the period of the emergency caused by the fire on board the Carnival Splendor, the members of the Carnival Cruise Lines Care Team were required to provide proper notification to the emergency contact of the crew members, of over 20 different nationalities, on board the ship. Though there were no injuries it was deemed inevitable that families and friends would be anxious about their loved ones and it was therefore incumbent upon the ship’s operator to keep all parties fully informed.

In the space of 3 days, Carnival dialed LangCommLive interpreters 405 times. They used 28 different languages (from Belarusian to Ukrainian) and the average time to connect to an interpreter across all 405 calls was 37 seconds, and there were no dropped calls, or failed connections. www.LangCommLive.com
