ST. JOHN’S — The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is recommending Ottawa take a closer look at uncertified vessels after the Titan submersible imploded on a descent to the Titanic wreck nearly three years ago.
The board released a report today examining the disaster that killed all five people on board, including Stockton Rush, the chief executive of the company behind the voyage.
The report says Transport Canada knew the Titan was operating out of St. John’s, N.L., with support from Canadian vessels.
However, it said the department did not provide oversight of the Titan’s operations.
