A scathing new report into the Titan submersible disaster that killed five people has found the vessel was damaged during earlier dives and built through a flawed engineering process that failed to meet safety standards \u2014 conditions that ultimately led to its fatal implosion.<\/p>\n

The report released by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on Wednesday also found that OceanGate, the vessel’s operator, did not adequately test Titan or know its actual strength and durability.<\/p>\n

The doomed vessel imploded<\/a> near the Titanic wreck in the North Atlantic Ocean in 2023, resulting in the instantaneous death of all five occupants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike earlier probes, the NTSB report focuses on how Titan’s carbon-fiber hull physically failed and adds new technical safety recommendations.<\/p>\n

EXPLOSIVE NEW REPORT BLAMES OCEANGATE AND ITS CEO FOR ‘PREVENTABLE’ TITAN SUB DISASTER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“We found that the Titan pressure vessel likely sustained damage after it surfaced at the end of dive 80 in the form of one or more delaminations, which weakened the pressure vessel,” the report states. In plain terms, delamination means that the layers of material started to come apart inside the carbon fiber hull.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those delaminations deteriorated between dive 80 and dive 88, its final dive, resulting in a local buckling failure that led to the implosion. In fact, it found that after dive 82, the\u00a0Titan\u00a0sustained additional damage of unknown origin that further deteriorated and weakened the pressure vessel.<\/p>\n

The new report stated that OceanGate’s<\/a> real-time monitoring data analysis of Titan’s pressure was flawed, so the company was unaware that the vessel was damaged and needed to be immediately removed from service. The sensors meant to detect hull strain didn\u2019t trigger proper alarms and engineers misread or dismissed the data, the report found.<\/p>\n

The vessel\u2019s flawed engineering and carbon fiber design were outlined as the primary cause for its ultimate demise.<\/p>\n

“We determined that the probable cause of the hull failure and implosion\u2026 was OceanGate\u2019s inadequate engineering process, which failed to establish the actual strength and durability of the Titan pressure vessel and resulted in the company operating a carbon fiber composite vessel that sustained delamination damage\u2026 resulting in a damaged internal structure that subsequently led to a local buckling failure of the pressure vessel,” the report states.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report also said the wreckage of the Titan likely would have been found sooner had OceanGate followed standard guidance for emergency response, and that would have saved “time and resources even though a rescue was not possible in this case.”<\/p>\n

The NTSB report follows on from a 335-page report by the U.S. Coast Guard<\/a> (USCG) released in August which found that the tragedy was preventable and also the result of a flawed experimental design and ignored safety warnings.<\/p>\n

That report blamed OceanGate, with particular culpability placed on OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who perished in the disaster. It also focused on OceanGate’s culture, leadership, certification gaps and suppression of safety warnings.<\/p>\n

The new NTSB adds new, sharper specifics the Coast Guard report didn\u2019t spell out, like how the Titan\u2019s carbon-fiber pressure hull physically failed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For instance, the Coast Guard only noted that earlier dives showed “cracking sounds” and “signs of fatigue,” but didn\u2019t tie them to a numbered dive sequence or a confirmed delamination chain.<\/p>\n

The NTSB report<\/a> called for a Coast Guard-led panel of deep-submersible experts\u00a0to study current pressure-vessel operations and share their findings with industry, alongside new U.S. regulations for pressure vessels for human occupancy.<\/p>\n

It also recommends that the Coast Guard implement regulations for the vehicles that are informed by that study. The report states that current regulations for small passenger vessels “enabled OceanGate’s operation of the Titan in an unsafe manner.”<\/p>\n

The report also called on the Coast Guard to “disseminate findings of the study to the industry,” which has grown in recent years as privately-financed exploration has grown.<\/p>\n
