Fatal yacht accident in Cala Bona: Are the requirements for the captain sufficient?

Answer

How could electronic reporting and AIS tracking improve Mallorca’s maritime safety?

Proposals include electronic reporting for larger yachts at night, more frequent check-ins via an app, and better cooperation among harbor authorities and local fishing communities. These tools aim to reveal risks early and deter manipulation or evasion of checks. They would complement on-land controls already in place.
