There are camera's in that room.

[@grondhero]

It _seems_ the most likely is the weather picked up and the yacht started sinking. I just don't understand why they didn't reverse if they already had lines out to shore (or shore-ward). Or maybe the electronics said "yes, it's closed" and it wasn't until they started moving that they found out the truth. My non-engineering background says it's because the door opened upwards instead of downwards becoming a platform. 😉

[@foxxster3565]

Yep, needs to be a check on engine start that shows all open doors, portholes etc on a warning screen. You shouldn’t be allowed to put the engines into forward or reverse without closing these and thereby clearing the warning or physically touching the screen to override each warning light. Not sure why you would want to override but there may be times when you need to.

[@wilsonchia1256]

I have worked on this yacht previously named MY PetraTara before being sold to the new owner MY Ethos. Sad to see it had this unfortunate incident. Previously when I worked onboard, the water tight door to the engine control room was not closed during at sea. Due to the AC in the engine control room was not functioning and warmed up the room and also the engine room. Ventilation really poor in the engine room. Not sure if they had fixed it when sold to the new owner. Also the water tight door on the lower deck you mentioned, it was a manual water tight door with a centre lock mechanism. It was closed all the time unless needed access. Behind the engine room was a refrigerator, freezer for food storage and laundry area. And there is another water tight door before leading to the crew quarters upstairs. Had many problems with this yacht with lack of maintenance when I was onboard. Btw I was a Chef onboard with previous owner. Then it was sold to a new owner and had a major refit in Greece and named MY Ethos.

Seriously, the side shell door when open should not flood. The design and engineering may be at fault as the hatch opening could have been engineered too close to the waterline at full load. I have worked on projects where the shipyards have made this error with the shell door, and we have had to modify due to the easy ingress of water putting the vessel at risk. If the opening is too close to the waterline at half fuel load, imagine at full. I would not put the blame on the crew, but maybe there was a hydraulic problem and they couldn’t close the door. The yacht appears close to the coastline and maybe they tried to get to harbour. Anyway it’s not just a simple finger pointing. Again don’t speculate and wait until it’s investigated properly. Hope the can tow it and it doesn’t sink. 😮

[@angusaddison3926]

Forgot to mention that there is a manual solution should there be any hydraulic or electrical malfunction. Maybe the pivots were twisted, who knows and I don’t want to speculate.

When your video showed the engine room hatch I noticed it only had 2 dogs opposite the hinge. Most of my experience is in AK fishing but normally we have 6 dogs on all water tight hatches whether they are powered or not. There must be a different standard for yachts. I think it’s probably a good idea to only be able to close that side door locally. Too many people have been injured by remote usage of hydraulics with no eyes on the opening.

[@user-ub2id7ie2l]

Why blame the crew, as a captain myself the crew is somewhat responsible for this but ultimily it would be my responsibility to make sure all doors are closed. Did the captain not check his lights or cameras. That is the questions that should be asked.

[@princehakim3562]

It is shared…crew needs to inform the bridge that the platform is clear and the door is closed…bridge cannot start engines unless said by the crew below is ok to do so…despite all cctv cameras and lighting etc…those are just extras…but you cannot guarantee their accuracies at the time..faulty sensor..cctv offline who knows…a proper simple communication between 2 parties can save a lot of trouble..what do you think?

[@nautaki]

Absolutely ridiculous that there is no sensors, no alarms, no automations, no nothing, to prevent this from happening in a multi-million dollar recreational vessel. And also , it kinda sucks that they want us to believe that the weather deteriorated so rapidly they couldn't do anything about it. Really? In Greece? Bayesian is a different story, the weather was rubbish to begin with and it got hit by a black swan weather event, whatever that might be, here it is a bright sunny day with no clouds in the horizon.

Warning sensors can fail. That's why even when they exist you must do your checklists consistently as if they didn't exist. So when you see the door is open and the alarm stays silent you know something is defective and in need of repairs. Safety is a collaborative work between the machine and the human. Machine checks the human. Human checks the machine.

@@christianbarnay2499 yes, of course but a Super Yacht has crew with duties, and redundant systems. We operate our own 66 ft. Boat and my point is that even on a small, self manned yacht, we have porthole alerts. You're right, there is no excuse for this failure.

[@jfmezei]

First reaction: the fully opened tender door was extremely obvious today, so how come it wasn't yesterday (and even you sais "apparently"). So I went back to yesterday,s video at at 00:18, once you know what to ook for, you can see the tender door was fully opened though not obvious due to wave action over it. But it's there. This comment started off as wondering if the door had appeared closed hence ship starting to move, but door then opened. You eloquently show how the captain has that information at hand and moving with the door opened is something anyone/everyone would obviously avoid. So I bring in United Airlines Flight 811. 1989, old 147. Takes off from Honolulu and a while later cargo door "explodes", taking with it part of main deck with seats/passengers on it. NTSB conclusion waas cargo door improperly closed by ramp folks and opened mid-flight with wind ripping it off along with part of mid deckl fuselage. Some contested it but issue closed. Fast forward to 1998, Swissair 111. Fire breaks out in space between ceiling and fuselage. the Canadian TSB concludes that kapton insulation on electric wires could catch fire, especially with age of f damaged (outer layer scratched/degraded giving kapton access to oxygen or something akin to that. Pressure caused NTSB to reopen the UA 811 and they admitted that it was kapton faulty wiring that shorted and activated the motors to unlock the cargo door and open it. (and thus reversed accusatiosn on ramp employees). What if the door had been properly closed, captain got all his indicators OK, camera showed door closed, but not long after ship underway, some short/faulty wiring/salt water caused the motors to open the door? Are these surveillance cameras recorded for any length of time? If so, the ship would have evidence of whether the doors were closed nd re-opened later, or whether they were left open at all times. So now curious on whether the captain retains control over those recordings or of some local authorities would seized the to ensure no tampering. (as would be the case for a large ship). I assume insurance company wants unmodified recordings as well.

[@ferC76]

I Have 0 knowledge in super Yatchs but As a designer, if I have a section in my yatch that has a door.....then that section would be isolated from the rest of the Hull so if water comes in because of a malfunction or a failure in the closure system I'm not gonna compromise the rest of the vessel. Large military vessels they have compartments, so if one gets flooded then the rest are gonna keep the vessel safe.....If I could pay millions for a yacht I would make sure a door open would'nt be a reason to sink the whole ship....Another thing is if I already spent 50+ M in a yacht I would pay some money for an additional security system to detect if the door was left open and there's no a person in the area.....But still......a section in a ship that size with a door to the exterior should be properly drained and isolated to the rest of the hull

[@johnjoyce8617]

@YachtReport Can you clarify what flooded? If the tender garage is a single deck and the water tight doors were closed, any water entering the tender garage should immediately drain back out, as it's above the normal water level. If the water tight doors were closed, then the only way that the ship should settle to this extent would be if there was a second, unsealed, level to the tender garage below the wooden deck shown in your photographs of the tender garage. Is this the case? It seems more likely that at least one water tight door was left open and that at least one other compartment was at least partially flooded before the open door could be closed. The physics just doesn't seem to match up with a single level tender garage door being left open, where the garage is above the sea level, all water tight doors being closed, and the degree of list and settling that is visible. It is also possible that, while still not proper procedure, that the open garage door had nothing to do with the partial sinking. If the hull was ruptured below the water line, flooding a sealed compartment, wouldn't it result in the same appearance? As the visible single level of the garage is normally above the water line, flooding it should not affect the buoyancy of the boat, so why is it submerged to the level of the door? Something else has to have taken on water somewhere. Color me very confused regarding your current analysis.

[@VerissimusAurelius]

[@sreed8570]

The doors of your 30K car have buzzers and alarms for when they are left open and the ignition turned on. I find it hard to believe a multi-million dollar yacht would be solely dependent on someone looking at cameras to verify that door was shut without some kind of alarm. Especially when you consider that RO-RO that sank with the bow doors open for that reason.

[@wethenorth6437]

Based on reports from the first Captain to pilot the yacht in sea trials the boat had mechanical issues and he actually left because he said the French shipyard people were very rude and unhelpful with repairs and eventually legal action was taken. I highly suspect the door wasn't left open rather I think it would not close due to a mechanical fault of some kind. If you think about it why would 9 crew members including a Captain ignore all the bells and whistles that would surely be sounding with a door left open. Something's not adding up here and I suspect we'll get the full story sometime down the road.

[@WaguihSiag]

Even if the garage door is open and water goes in, good yacht design doesn't allow the yacht to sink. Unless there is another door inside the garage connecting the garage to the engine room or crew area.

[@McGyverPilot]

You would think they would design these Yachts with Sensors to sound alarms or flashing lights when Yachts turn on thrust while Tender Door is Open. All Yacht Engines should be built to be able to run at least several feet underwater, same as some amphibious trucks, with intake and exhaust tubes running higher than top deck, thus allowing any watercraft to continue moving after taking on excess water.

[@marcoosvald8429]

I hold a Master License. I don't know about other Captains, but I am ex-NAVY. I have never taken control of a vessel without doing a walkaround before getting underway. This includes once the engines are started. With all the CCTVs and modern alarm systems on that boat, how did the Captain miss this? This was flat out negligence. If I was the owner of this yacht, I would be looking for a new Captain as well as some members of the crew. This was completely preventable.

[@kevinmobile]

It'll be fascinating to read the inquiry report showing the sequence of events. I assume unlike an aircraft, there is no 'black box' that will have recorded a timeline of essential and successful procedures and audio from the bridge? Assuming insurance is in place, the loss adjuster will presumably look for any contributory negligence?

[@matthewgibbs6886]

they should have spent the xtra million on power door alarms and remote closure ability.

[@Blablablabla1ify]

Surely the tender garages on yachts are watertight areas, considering their proximity to the waterline and the nature of their uses? Meaning that so long as all internal watertight doors providing access to the tender garage are closed, an open main door to the elements will not be a flooding danger to the ship?

[@genius1a]

From a bouanvy standpoint it is very likely, that the huge engine compartment is involved. Why? Because the vessel sits way deeper in the first place. The Tender garage has its floor above the waterline and surely has no direct opening to a lower part of the ship. It is normal to have some water coming in and out there in rough wetter conditions (e.g. bringing in the tender after a sudden weather change). The water would easily rinse out again through one of the huge doors. But if the engine compartment door was open and water came in there due to rough weather, then the water would come to below the tender garage floor, because the engines reach deep under the waterline (to keep the center of gravity as low as possible). You would not see that for some time as there is walking plates hiding the bildge beneath, the pumps would normally kick in and pump that bildge water out. But maybe it was shut off due to beach proximity and oil spill would be something to avoid. And when they got the severity of the situation, the engine room door was already partially under water and panick kicked in fast, no one voluteered to shut the door anymore (and maybe they were unaware of the fact). The port engine would maybe have worked a little longer due to the list. A second possibility for such a huge boyancy loss would be grounding damage, as it seems the yacht is pretty near the rough shoreline.
