So sad this tragic accident happened it must be horrible for the family. It must be terrible for this family.

Quote:

A spokeswoman for the company said it was an "appalling and difficult situation" for the passenger's family and she was unable to comment further.

It now question should lifejackets be compulsory with tracking beacons be worn in areas where passengers could fall into water.

Never understood if you in small boat/yacht its advised by the coastguard to wear lifesaver but passenger ferries dont.

Its not first time man fell from hull ferry awhile back.

all it takes is slip nobody to catch you your gone. If its case educating then surely worth it.

Its like needle in haystack trying retrace a boats course judgeing currrents to find a person overboard quickly who could drown or die of the cold tempretures.

So should we have measures to limit it make passengers aware its adviceable to have the jacket on in these areas so they know where they are can rescue them quickly.
