El Faro Marine Safety Legislation Advances in the U.S. Congress
The tragic loss of the steam ship El Faro on October 1, 2015 and the loss of all 33 persons aboard led to the issuance of a December 19, 2017 U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Final Action Memorandum containing recommendations for future action. Those recommendations are the basis for legislation (H.R. 6175) introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on June 21 and reported favorably by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on June 27.
