Would this warrant an investigation? It’s a private operation in international waters (AFAIK) that was 100% voluntary.

I’m sure there’s a myriad (or plethora) of things that were wrong with the vessel.

insurance companies will want an investigation

and I think navys and coast guards, to be pragmatic missions like this are a valuable learning tool and good practice

There were paying customers, on a ship built in the United States, departing from Canada.

Both NTSB and the TSB in Canada will want to investigate, as it was commercial.

Good take on it. I guess I’m quite prejudiced against wealthy people paying to do dangerous shit. Having said that I don’t wish them any ill. It just looked like a really dumb thing to begin with. The PC controller on the thing is a bit of a joke tbh.
