Beyond the noise
Dear Editor,
Whenever a regional ferry suffers an engine failure or a close call at sea, a predictable public spectacle follows. Town hall meetings grow heated, headlines splash warnings across local front pages, and political officials issue urgent press statements. For a few weeks, public discourse is dominated by the issue.
Yet when the media attention dies down, a dangerous misconception often lingers: that raising a loud alarm is the same as solving the problem.
In maritime transit, demanding safety is far more than making noise—it requires the quiet, unglamorous, and expensive work of structural accountability.
Sincerely,
Daniel Singh
