Human error was probably to blame for the death of a Filipino crewman on the "Harmony of the Seas," a prosecutor said on Sep 14. The 42-year-old electrical engineer was killed when a lifeboat became detached from the ship during a safety drill in Marseille.
Prosecutor Xavier Tarabeux said the investigation had so far found no sign of faulty equipment.
Investigators were now examining whether mistakes were made in the use of the lifeboat.
The investigation was shifting towards the theory that human error was to blame.
Witnesses were being questioned and the "Harmony of the Seas", which had been due to sail for Italy on Sep 13, has been forced to remain in port in Marseille while the investigation continues.
Two of the injured men have been discharged from hospital, while two others who were more seriously injured were still receiving treatment.
