    Yeah who knows. Bit of a bummer for the owner as it looks like it was on its way to fraser.

    A side question... Will the owners now cop a fine for polluting. Diesel, oil, etc in the ocean? Will a recovery even take place or do they just leave it... ?

    I think regardless of a working handbrake or not, vehicles should not just be able to roll into the ocean. You would think there would be some bollards or something in place to stop them if they do move. Wonder who's insurance needs to cover it?

    Bloody Toyota handbrakes!

    I agree... At the moment it's just a good laugh, But what happened if people where in it and it rolled off and they got trapped and died.?? Dare say the Captain would be a world of chit for not putting the ramps up.

    Wow. I was on that barge about eight weeks ago. I hope the barge operators take responsibility. You would assume the operators have accountability for ensuring the vehicles are safely secured before launching.
