On August 5, 2025, a Marine Board of Investigation, convened by the U.S. Coast Guard, released its final report on the implosion of the Titan submersible, which was owned by OceanGate. The board found that “the primary contributing factors were OceanGate’s inadequate design, certification, maintenance and inspection process for the Titan.” It also cited other factors, including “ a toxic workplace culture at OceanGate, an inadequate domestic and international regulatory framework for submersible operations and vessels of novel design, and an ineffective whistleblower process under the Seaman’s Protection Act.”
