Report into Titan submersible disaster published by US Coast Guard | Sky News coverage

A ‘toxic workplace culture’ was one of several contributing factors that led to the implosion of the Titan submersible on its way to the Titanic, a report has said.

The US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation (MBI) said in its Report of Investigation (ROI) that "the loss of five lives was preventable".

Among the factors that led to the loss of the vessel in June 2023 was inadequate design, certification, maintenance and inspection of the sub, the fact that the company failed to look into known past problems with the hull, and that issues with the expedition were not monitored in real time and acted upon.

Titan went missing on its voyage to the wreck of the Titanic.

After five frantic days of searching, the wreckage was eventually found on the ocean floor roughly 500m from the sunken Titanic.
