The company responsible for operating the remotely operated vehicles involved in the recovery, Pelagic Research Services, announced that they have successfully completed their offshore work.
To investigate the cause of the sub’s implosion and provide recommendations, a Marine Board of Investigation was formed over the weekend.
The board aims to gather evidence and conduct witness interviews in preparation for an upcoming public hearing, where further testimony will be presented.
The board has the authority to pursue civil or criminal sanctions if deemed necessary.
