From SCMP today
"Ferry crews involved in maritime collisions are getting off lightly, a probe by the South China Morning Post has found.
Hong Kong's fast and high-speed ferries have been involved in 74 collisions since 2008 - an average of more than one a month - the probe revealed. But ferry crews are likely only to be fined a few thousand dollars for breaching maritime safety laws, if they are prosecuted at all."
one collision per month?? that's much higher than i thought - even though there's very few casualities. are they literally only counting two boats ramming each other, or is there more light stuff counted too?
