This “Qoute of the Week” comes from Fred Fry of Maritime Monday fame.
If you want to solve the problem of car traffic, just subject car drivers to a tenth of the training requirements thrust upon seafarers.
The quote was in reference to our story on the sinking of the ro-ro Don Pedro off the coast off ibiza and Maritime Links Editor’s Blog notes on the resulting oil pollution. Both excellent articles IMO (chat shortcut for “In My Opinion” not the regulatory body).
