## Resource

Guyana’s president has launched a high-stakes safety overhaul after the tragic sinking of the MV Barima, which claimed 72 lives and left 30 missing. A new three-person audit team—led by maritime veterans including a former department head, a defense force colonel, and a ship surveyor—is now tasked with auditing every vessel’s compliance to prevent future disasters. This follows the swearing in of a five-member inquiry commission to investigate the cause of the country’s worst maritime tragedy, as authorities remain tight-lipped on search efforts while pushing for systemic reforms to restore public trust in water travel.
