A complete investigation must be carried out into whether safety regulations on passenger ferries have been enforced and how much blame the government should take for its lax oversight to determine the fundamental cause of the Sewol disaster. If the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and its umbrella supervising and licensing organizations had done their work, the Sewol ferry would not have been repeatedly remodeled or permitted to set sail overcapacity. The ministry has bestowed the Korea Register of Shipping with the authority to inspect the function and safety of various vessels.
If the Korea Shipping Association had done its job of examining the freight and safety gear, the Sewol would never have made its ill-fated sail.
