Lorry attack in Nice

[shot2bits]

So where is safe now? Turkey is out, the M east is not good. Where can we get off the ship now? Very depressing news. Feel so sorry for the victims.

I wonder what security Thomson have in place on their ships? Seems to me the ships are as much a target as anywhere else. Perhaps security will be more visible?

Other than screening and restricting people coming aboard, nothing much at all I think.

 

What else can they do ? :confused:

 

It's down to the local port security measures to deter any potential criminal action.

It's a bit of a worry then from what I have seen at many ports!
