The Rees family hopes that the coronial inquiry will shed light on what went wrong and hold the cruise company accountable if negligence is found. Katherine Rees has stated that the family’s priority is to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future, emphasizing that no passenger should ever be left behind in a remote location. “Losing Mum in this way has been devastating,” Katherine said. “We need answers, and we need to know what procedures should have been followed to keep her safe. Hopefully, this inquiry will ensure that something like this never happens again.”
