Pherry photo

From the Ceeb website today:


The story is, in the main, about the provincial ferry fleet.

The photo is of a Marine Atlantic ferry.

A ferry which, as the story reports, does not lack in data recorders:

Meanwhile, Marine Atlantic, the Crown corporation that operates the Gulf ferry service from Newfoundland to Cape Breton, N.S., does have data recorders on the passenger vessels the Smallwood and the Caribou.

Tara Laing, spokeswoman for the corporation, said even though the recorders are not mandatory, the ferry service installed them for several reasons.

"One is to aid in an investigation should anything happen on one of our vessels," Laing told CBC News. "As well as an instructional tool."
