Still not identifying the cause of her sinking, the US National Transportation Safety Board released a 510-page transcript, accompanied by other information, regarding the 1 October 2015 sinking and other data about the wreck.
They said it was not yet ready to identify the cause behind the sinking of the US Flagged, 790-foot (240-metre) El Faro.
The ship sank in a storm near the Bahamas in 15,000 feet (4,600 metres) of water with the loss of all hands on a regular run between Jacksonville, Florida and Puerto Rico.
Two and a half hours before sounding the Abandon Ship Alarm, her Master, Michael Davidson, seems to be overheard on her bridge commenting to his First Mate that there was confusion about the location of the storm.
