Lamma IV

Lamma IV was one of the ferries involved in a fatal collision near Lamma Island, Hong Kong, in 2012, resulting in the deaths of 39 people. The incident is one of Hong Kong's deadliest maritime disasters in decades. The organization is newsworthy due to the ongoing inquest into the causes and circumstances of the crash. Recently, the Coroner's Court delivered a verdict finding that the 39 deaths were unlawful killings. However, families of the victims have expressed dissatisfaction with the inquest, believing it hasn't uncovered all the answers and citing difficulties securing legal representation after the government commissioned an inquiry. The inquest verdict is seen by some as an ellipsis rather than a full stop in their quest for truth and accountability. The case remains significant due to the scale of the tragedy and the families' continued pursuit of justice.
