Report rules out tech fault in boat, engine

The report from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Indian Navy speedboat, that crashed into a passenger ferry enroute to Elephanta Island on December 18, has said that there was no fault either in the speedboat or its engine, ruling out the possibility of any malfunction in the vessel, a police officer said.
