There are no signs of an explosion or that Estonia would have collided with another floating object. That is the preliminary conclusion of the new investigation that was released on Monday.
Estonian, Swedish and Finnish authorities have carried out new dives after the documentary “Estonia – the discovery that changes everything” was published.
According to investigators, Estonia’s damage matches the rock formations on the bottom. A new assessment of the ship’s seaworthiness has also been made.
Just like in 1997, Estonia is judged to be unfit, among other things due to deficiencies in the bow visor.
