> Thank you for so much for signing our petition for P&O to put CCTV cameras on decks of passenger ferries. An incredible 82,000 of you have signed and the campaign has been picked up by the media.
> P&O is holding firm. Their crisis manager told journalists it would be impossible to put CCTV on the decks. He claimed: "We would never be able to equip those areas with sufficient cameras. It would need an army of people to monitor them. And we would never be able to have the storage capacity [for the footage]." And finished by saying "It is so rare – it is just not practical to consider doing this."
> But we know this isn't true. We know other families have lost loved ones on ferries and cruise ships. 
> Jim Walker, a highly reputable Maritime lawyer signed our petition and says that what P&O said is misleading. He said "It is easy to position CCTV cameras to cover all of the public areas, especially in small ferry boats like this. Reputable operators retain the electronic data for 30 days and automatic sensors do not require the cameras to be manned 24 hours."
> P&O is hoping people will forget what happened to our son as quickly as possible. But we can never forget it and we are determined not to let another family go through this. 
> Please help us keep the pressure up to get P&O to review its policy on CCTV and take a moment topost a message on P&O's Facebook page todayto challenge them about their CCTV policy.

> If hundreds of us post messages P&O will soon realise that this is an issue people care deeply about and they need to listen to customers. 
> Thank you so much for your support, we can't tell you how much it means to us.
