Ferry boats, lifelines for countless communities, don’t just transport people and cargo; they bridge geographies and lives. These vessels, crucial to many, carry with them a responsibility for the safety of their passengers. The unsettling statistics from Lloyd’s Register Foundation make it clear: ferry accidents have devastating consequences. Behind every statistic is a life, a family, a community changed forever. According to Lloyd’s Register Foundation, “between 2002 and 2016 Ferry accidents caused over 17,000 deaths.”
