Crew aboard the MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood didn't know how the vessel's fire detection system worked when the fire happened last May 12, newly disclosed documents say.
And portable radios -- which could be used as a back up to telephones -- were not only in short supply, they were ineffective on the ship because the transmissions were adversely affected by the vessel's steel structures.
Ten days later, two investigators from the federal Transportation Safety Board travelled on the MV Caribou to check on safety announcements made to passengers.

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.

MAI’s loan for purchasing the MV Leif Ericson has a negative effect on the corporation’s ability to operate within its subsidy level.  The Committee recommends that the cost of the loan be forgiven or removed from MAI’s operating cost and be paid from the capital budget.
For unplanned operational costs the Committee recommends a contingency reserve fund for use on a case-by-case basis, subject to the Board of Directors input and approval, and with Transport Canada oversight.  The Committee also recommends a Capital Fund for MAI to assist in funding future capital requirements and enhance the corporation’s fiscal planning capability.
These are: 1) in the area of commercial traffic, prioritizing tractor-trailers over drop-trailers, and 2) modifying the MV Atlantic Freighter's schedule so as not to conflict with the passenger ferries departure and arrival times.
