	The Globe and Mail: Series
		While the high-speed ferry is usually full, the older Caribou is struggling to fill half its passenger capacity of 1,200 -- on a recent day it carried only 126 people -- and survives now on a hull full of trucks and motor homes which cannot fit on the new craft.
		But the Caribou's staff believe the battle is not over, not when Newfoundlanders are just starting to realize the Max Mols' most serious downside.
		Regulars on the Caribou, however, say the choice is not about comfort or convenience; it's about the lost notion of a journey.

		Investigators also found that just 10 days after the blaze, the ferry's sister ship - the MV Caribou - failed to provide basic safety announcements to passengers as required by law.
		Two investigators also travelled aboard the MV Caribou to check on safety announcements, and heard none.

	Speech - Veterans Affairs Canada
		And so, when in the early morning hours of October 14, 1942 the silent deadly torpedoes of an enemy submarine slammed into the S.S. Caribou, the lives of her passengers and crew, and the citizens of our beloved Newfoundland would once again be forever changed.
		As Minister of Veterans Affairs it gives me great pleasure therefore, to today make the first formal presentation of this honour to the MV Caribou as the sole surviving namesake of the Canadian and Newfoundland merchant vessels lost in that theatre.
		And we are pleased to unveil also a "Commemorative Board" which will serve as a reminder of the ferry, her crew, and the passengers who were lost on a dark night so very long ago.

		Similarly in November and December 2004, the MV Leif Ericsondid 48 and 20 crossings respectively while on stand-by. This vessel also has the capability to complete 22 crossings every week, or 88 every month. Consequently, the fleet utilization of the MV Leif Ericson in November and December 2004 was 55% and 23% respectively.
		Arriving and departing according to the schedule within given tolerances[27] (on-time performance) is critical to the success of any ferry operation. Firstly, there is the inconvenience for passengers arriving at the terminal to discover the ferry has been delayed or rescheduled.
		The MV Caribou would be removed in 2009, the MV Leif Ericson in 2010 and the MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood in 2011. The charter on the temporary vessel would end in 2009 or 2010 depending on the exact delivery date of new vessels.

		"The super ferries MV Caribou and MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood are very comfortable, with several [quiet] resting lounges and cabins.
		Cabins can be pricey for the long trip and some seating requires tickets, however I find if you don't get either [they assume you stay up walking around all trip] you can still take an unused seat or table with little difficulty.
		A small note: The MV Caribou has larger cabins and much larger showers."
