Russ, I just read a book you would like.
 
 High Crimes by William Deverell (B.C. author).  Novel about a couple of Newfie marine engineers who run drugs from Columbia to Newfoundland in rustbucket tubs.  I sped-read thru the technical bits, but you would enjoy...

 Civil liberties at its finest. Its a joke.

  That being said.. if they did implement this alot of vessels on the coast would be without crew.

Marshall says there was no mechanical failures that would explain the incident, and says they need to investigate whether human error was involved.

  If it wasn't mechanical failure, what does that leave?  Are they hiring chimps to pilot the boats now?
