And what punishment is being considered for the responsible people of a system that let this and possibly other operators to routinely violate the law until a disaster happens?

Had he held them individually under water, probably still not get jail time “he is a company director” and as such is above the laws the rest of us have to be answerable too.

With manslaughter charges to come? Unlikely!

Those in the port/ harbour authority who allowed the boat to sail without a functioning marine commmunication device, instead relying on an untested mobile phone, should also be held responsible for this disaster.

A good start but what about all those who approved of the boat operating in unfavorable conditions? Will they be fined, sentenced to jail?

The owner is probably not involved in the daily running of his business, the operators and captain were.
RIP victims.
