Ferry with 48 Tourists Sinks in the Maldives

Passengers attempted to use life jackets, but many were found to be defective. As a result, people had to jump overboard without reliable safety equipment. Despite the chaos and harsh conditions, all 48 individuals managed to escape the sinking vessel and stay afloat until rescuers arrived.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, focusing on why the ferry set out to sea, its technical condition, and the crew’s actions. Experts are also discussing possible measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The event has raised concerns in the country's tourism industry. Stricter safety regulations for maritime transport are expected, along with tougher rules on vessel departures during adverse weather conditions.
