In a statement to Global News, Hullo Ferries said its vessels are designed to travel at a high rate of speed, therefore it must abide by Transport Canada's High-Speed Craft Code.
There’s a significant difference between the speeds and construction of the boats. Hullo is governed by the high speed craft code. Basically the concern is that a collision by one of these would be different than a regular ferry, and so there’s limitations to what they can carry, and the emergency procedures they have to have in place.
Hopefully stories like this will help push for improvements to the regulation
