The Oceangate company is at the center of a recent controversy surrounding the missing tourist sub that was intended to explore the remains of the Titanic. The company had planned to take passengers to the site of the famous ship’s sinking for years, but their efforts were halted when their sub, the Titan, disappeared during a test dive off the coast of Florida. With no sign of the sub or its crew, questions have been raised about the safety of these kinds of expeditions and the capabilities of companies like Oceangate.
The Titan sub was capable of reaching depths of up to 4,000 meters.The Oceangate company is a private organization that specializes in deep-sea exploration and underwater technology. Founded in 2009 by stock trader and entrepreneur Stockton Rush, the company has since become a leading provider of subsea services, including manned submersibles and remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs). Among Oceangate’s notable achievements is the development of Titan, a state-of-the-art manned submersible capable of reaching depths of up to 4,000 meters. Despite being a relatively young player in the industry, Oceangate has managed to attract attention and clients with its focus on innovation and scientific research. However, recent events have put the company in the spotlight for a different reason – its association with the missing tourist sub that was supposed to explore the wreck of the Titanic.
