    Update:

    Just spoke with people from New York Waterway, who say:

    1. They're trying to track down mephron (the original poster) to get
       more detailed information from him--e.g., time and ferry route.

    2. If the story is true, it is not only a violation of company  
policy,
       but also of martime regulations, and if it is true, they wish to
       correct the situation as quickly as possible.

    3. Anyone with further information about it are invited to contact
       them directly.

    Sounds sensible to me...
