Red Sea Ferry Sinking

Once I read more about the ferry that sank en route to Egypt from Saudi Arabia, I couldn’t help having a thought.

Why do we continue to sell these ferries overseas. A lot of ferries and liners used in the area are ones that were sold off by a UK company because the ship no longer met UK safety requirements.

If the ship isn’t safe to sail here, why should it be OK for it to sail anywhere?

If it’s dangerous, it should be decommissioned, or converted into a cargo ship, not continue to transport large numbers of passengers.
