Recovery operations
Since April 28 this year, the recovery operations of the sailing vessel have been underway with great commitment by maritime authorities and divers. However, the work has been hampered by adverse weather conditions and the complexity of the operation itself.

The death of the diver has raised questions about the safety of the operations and the preparation of the operators involved.
Implications for maritime safety
This incident has highlighted the need to review safety regulations at sea. The competent authorities are called upon to reflect on how to improve recovery procedures and ensure the safety of those working in these operations. The maritime community is calling for a thorough analysis of the circumstances that led to the sinking of the Bayesian and the preventive measures that can be taken in the future.
