Lamma IV

Lamma IV was one of the ferries involved in a fatal collision off Lamma Island, Hong Kong, in 2012. The incident, one of the city's deadliest maritime disasters, resulted in the deaths of 39 people. The families of the victims have been seeking answers and accountability for over a decade. The organization is newsworthy due to the long-awaited inquest verdict into the crash, which is expected to be delivered by the Coroner's Court. Recent developments include the coroner's remarks about the impracticality of expecting inspectors to find a missing watertight door and the court's ruling that the 39 deaths were unlawful killings. Despite the inquest, families like Alice Leung's believe it won't provide complete closure, highlighting the ongoing quest for truth and justice. The case remains significant as it raises questions about maritime safety standards and accountability in Hong Kong.
