Titan sub disaster preventable due to safety failures, US report finds ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

The Titan vanished during a descent to the Titanic wreck on a tourist expedition, losing contact with its support ship.

OceanGate, the U.S.-based company that managed the tourist submersible, suspended all operations after the incident.

The chair of the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation, Jason Neubauer, said the accident was preventable.

Chloe Nargeolet, whose father, French oceanographer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, died on the submersible, said she was satisfied with the investigation.

The board determined that the primary contributing factors were OceanGate’s “inadequate design, certification, maintenance and inspection process for the Titan.”

The report added “for several years preceding the incident, OceanGate leveraged intimidation tactics, allowances for scientific operations, and the company’s favorable reputation to evade regulatory scrutiny.”

It also criticized OceanGate for failing to properly store the Titan before the 2023 Titanic expedition.

The report faulted the absence of a timely Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigation into a 2018 OceanGate whistleblower’s complaint combined with a lack of government cooperation, calling them a missed opportunity and added “early intervention may have resulted in OceanGate pursuing regulatory compliance or abandoning their plans.” - Reuters
