![]() In a 2021 court filing, OceanGate’s legal representative touted the specifications and a hull monitoring system that he called “an unparalleled safety feature” built into the Titan submersible. Classing may be effective at filtering out unsatisfactory designers and builders, but the established standards do little to weed out subpar vessel operators – because classing agencies only focus on validating the physical vessel,” it read. “Classing assures ship owners, insurers, and regulators that vessels are designed, constructed and inspected to accepted standards. The vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure,” it said. It said classing innovative designs often requires a multiyear approval process, which gets in the way of rapid innovation.Ĭlassing agencies “do not ensure that operators adhere to proper operating procedures and decision-making processes – two areas that are much more important for mitigating risks at sea. This "classing" system ensures vessels are designed and built following regulations such as the number of life rafts or types of materials used.īut the Titan submersible that went missing en route to the Titanic wreck, is not classed, the blog post said. Great fun and infinitely superior to even some cinema-released shark flicks.In a 2019 blog post on OceanGate’s website, the company said most marine operations “require that chartered vessels are ‘classed’ by an independent group such as the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), DNV/GL, Lloyd’s Register, or one of the many others.” In fact, this sequel shows better than most (big or small budget) just why humanity has so much to answer for. ![]() Such love is not always found in this genre and should be celebrated. Much like the inferior but fun for what it was Deep Blue Sea 2, this conservationist backbone and deep respect runs through the entire screenplay, as the film surprisingly takes time to comment on the declining natural world and climate change. The well constructed (and really rather original at points) shark set pieces are exciting and at 99 minutes the film runs along very nicely, with decent characters and performances and a most welcome respect and admiration for the beautiful animal taking centre stage. The Waterworld-esque floating hand-crafted settlement setting made for a most unique backdrop to some impressively staged action, which goes along at a great ‘ol lick (or should that be great big bite?). Well sue us but we really enjoyed Deep Blue Sea 3. The film sees the escaped genetically-enhanced killing machines from the last film make their way to a remote settlement with a thriving sea bed (aka food glorious food) and the dedicated research team diving there soon find more is afoot than aggressive bull sharks, as a team hired to track and kill the sharks soon arrives escalating events further! Call it the lockdown blues, call it too much social media, call it drinking something hinky or call it the film being great but straight to disc (or straight to VOD in this case) sequels to past big screen flicks are generally not thought of in T2: Judgment Day terms and yet – while obviously not on that level – Deep Blue Sea 3 offers the shark movie-goer a real treat and let’s be honest, if you are reading this, you know what you came for and director John Pogue delivers. You are entirely bonkers”, well this writer certainly gets that feeling here because Deep Blue Sea 3 is an absolute blast.
