Sea Smooth

Sea Smooth is one of the two ferries involved in the 2012 Lamma Island ferry collision, Hong Kong's deadliest maritime disaster in decades. The incident, which resulted in the deaths of 39 people, has been the subject of ongoing legal proceedings and public scrutiny. Sea Smooth's role in the collision is now newsworthy because a Hong Kong Coroner's Court is delivering a long-awaited verdict in an inquest into the causes and circumstances of the tragedy. The inquest, which families of the victims opted out of initially, aims to determine the facts surrounding the incident. The verdict is expected to be a significant, though potentially incomplete, step towards uncovering the truth and providing closure for the families of the deceased. The case remains relevant due to the persistent pursuit of justice and accountability by the victims' families.
