Unknown Sea Story lob sinks

Looks like Garmin has a case for the inReach.

What a sardonic point - the Red Sea disasters have probably been a huge boost to PLB and satellite messenger devices.

“Ironic” not “sardonic”. And don’t get sardonic with me either.

@tridacna - you are correct. Thanks for the vocab assist

Came here to share it, great!
Hope the broadcast/documentary makes it to YouTube, hopefully with English subtitles. This should be exposed to the whole world.

"To investigate wider industry standards, stern and RTL sent undercover reporters onto 17 liveaboard vessels across three Egyptian ports. Their findings — confirmed by international marine safety experts — were damning:

All vessels had safety deficiencies; most were serious or very serious.
Life jackets were often unsuitable; life rafts were inadequate.
Many lower decks lacked proper bulkheads; some ships had missing or inaccessible emergency exits.
Navigation and communication equipment was missing on some boats.
Unsafe practices, such as smoking in the engine room while the diesel engine was running, were observed."

Where are the findings in detail - I think most bleive there is a problem but without detail this is all very sketchy!

I'd be more concerned about the boats, gear and crews being sketchy than this report being sketchy.

I am curious what would constitute an improper bulkhead in a lower cabin.

It leaks and you'll see water dripping & water stains near the seams, thus weakening the wood/fiberglass inside.
