15 years is a terrifyingly long time to last without proper maintenance though.

Not for a large ship like this one.

I do think there's something suspicious about this sinking.

Except its last inspection was in 2022 and included a number of deficiencies. Since then it has avoided inspections. It’s likely some type is deferred maintenance was the cause.
