Officials from the National Transportation Safety Board have decided not to board the ship today as search-and-rescue operations continue for the missing individuals. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy stated that the decision was made to allow for the ongoing search and recovery efforts without interference.

During a press briefing on Monday, Homendy mentioned that the engineering team involved in the investigation is working on accessing the recorder located on the ship. She refrained from disclosing further details about the recorders at this time.

Homendy emphasized the presence of multiple teams dedicated to different aspects of the investigation, including an engineering team, survival factors team, and a team focused on retrieving the recorders.

While some information has been obtained, Homendy stressed the importance of verifying the details before sharing them with the public. The NTSB continues to prioritize the search-and-rescue mission and the collection of crucial data to determine the cause of the incident.
