Are they gonna plug them in as well .... ?

Why not use them to record everybody going on and off the pier too

At least the the recording device will not go down with the boat...

And how are they going to deal with the private charter speed boat working from the beaches?

Don't get it

why have CCTV, it don't make boats safe.

[KittenKong]

Good idea. There should be some great clips to put on Youtube when the next boat capsizes.

I'll be the first to bet the CCTV on the boats aren't waterproof, not even water resistant. 555

Doesn't it remind you of the pedestrian light fiasco? Not soon after they were installed they started turning them off - first on weekends, then permanently.

If the CCTV they plan to install are as bad as the ones in Bangkok around Erawan Shrine, they may as well not bother.

They should be installed at the top of the mast as this is more likely to stay above water.

a very good idea installing cctvs on ferries might keep the crime rate down .
