A mission specialist for the company that owned the Titan submersible that imploded last year has told the US coast guard that the firm was staffed by competent people who wanted to “make dreams come true”.

Renata Rojas was the latest person connected to Titan owner OceanGate to give evidence as an investigatory panel listens to testimony that has raised questions about the company’s operations before the doomed mission.
