Ocean Gate says it has suspended all exploration and commercial operations in light of the tragedy

The company that owned the Titan vessel has announced it has suspended operations.

The submersible, which imploded last month, was owned by OceanGate, a company which offered deep sea explorations of the Titanic wreck.

Earlier today, the company posted the announcement on its website.

On June 18th, five passengers were killed when the Titan imploded in the North Atlantic.

The deceased included OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who was also the pilot.

The U.S. Coast Guard continues to investigate.
