Canada launches investigation into Titan tragedyThe Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) has announced that it is launching an investigation into the loss of the Titan sub.
A team of investigators is now travelling to St John’s, Newfoundland, to “gather information, conduct interviews, and assess the occurrence”, it said.
In a statement, the board said it was launching “a safety investigation regarding the circumstances of this operation” because the Titan’s surface support vessel, the Polar Prince, was a Canadian-flagged ship.
In accordance with the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act and international agreements, the TSB, as the investigation authority of the flag state of the support vessel involved in the occurrence, will conduct a safety investigation regarding the circumstances of this operation conducted by the Canadian-flagged vessel Polar Prince.
