There was already an article that basically said they will be immune from any lawsuits. They operated in international waters outside the scope of any laws or regulations on how the submersible needed to be rated. I hope they can find grounds to sue them and kill the company, maybe they will be open to civil lawsuits?
Apparently it covers their ass since they would only be held liable if they misrepresented the dangers. Since they mention death 3 times on the first page, I don’t think they did.
The submersible was a boat on a ship the ship.may be bound by imo or it’s flag star rules. I work in maritime software. regulation around Solas and imo rules are mental I mean we only moved ships off xp in last few years as the xp for embedded systems had been thoroughly tested and type approved, e.g. two 90day test runs
These people were billionaires. We’ve learned that there are pretty much only consequences if you mess with rich peoples money. What happens if you murder a bunch of them through negligence?
I think they will find a way to destroy this company and all of these people involved no matter what form that takes.

Huh, interesting. Then what is the actual point of the liability waivers they had to sign?

There’s nobody to sue. The CEO is dead. Oceangate is a bankrupt company with no assets.
