TSB releasing final Titan submersible investigation report

Canada's Transportation Safety Board will release its final report Wednesday on the investigation into the loss of the Titan submersible, almost three years to the day since the vessel imploded off Newfoundland and Labrador, killing five people on a dive to view the Titanic's ruins.

The submersible was owned and operated by OceanGate. CEO Stockton Rush was one of the five who died, along with British adventurer Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his 19-year-old son Sulema, and French submariner Paul-Henri Nargeolet.

The TSB notice states the report will contain six recommendations generally aimed at reducing or eliminating safety deficiencies that pose risks to Canada's transportation system. Both regulators and industry will need to be part of the follow-up.

The report is scheduled for release at 11:30 a.m. NT. The TSB does not assign fault in its investigations and does not typically speak to potential civil or criminal liability.

The Titan disaster drew international media attention. Multiple documentaries were made about the incident, including Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster, released on Netflix in June 2025. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board released a separate investigation last year that found faulty engineering in the submersible's creation and concluded OceanGate hadn't properly tested the vessel.
