Video: Ferry Commuters to Boston Not Concerned About Safety After bin Laden Death

After the , security has not changed on the Hingham-to- Boston commuter boats and residents are not concerned for their safety.

At the Hingham-to-Boston commuter boat service that is run by the MBTA, officials said there has not been an increase in security; however, the Transit Police will continue to watch for suspicious activity.

 "We continue to monitor the situation and will be guided by any information or intelligence that is forthcoming,” Transit Police Chief Paul MacMillan released in a statement on Monday.

According to MacMillan, there have been no reports of any specific threats. Yet, in order to reassure the riding public, there will continue to be  security inspection programs and  high visibility patrols in MBTA stations and on the trains.

A Boston Harbor Cruise manager said that earlier this year the MBTA had recently installed new camera systems on the commuter boats and there has been an upgrade in Coast Guard security in the Hingham and Boston harbors.

While the MBTA continues to watch for suspicious activity, the Massachusetts Environmental Police  said security around Hingham Harbor has not changed in the last 24 hours.

“There has not been a heightened security alert, and no new attention,” said Environmental Police dispatcher Sofia Kotz.

On Monday morning South Shore residents had no doubts getting on board the commuter boats at the Hingham Shipyard.

Weymouth resident Rosemary Mitchell takes the commuter boat from Hingham to Boston everyday to work and she said she continues to feel safe at all times.

 “The Coast Guard is on our boats regularly and I feel confident that they have everything in tow and will handle anything the comes about,” she said.

 Scott Farden, 45, of Hingham said he will not worry because terrorism is something the country will be battling for the next 100 years.

 “I’m not too concerned because there has not been a lot of impact on American soil since 9/11,” he said.  “If they attack a boat, I’ll take the train.”

 Bill Kenney of Scituate entered the commuter boat with two suitcases in his hands and was on his way to Logan Airport. Kenney said if there is any worry he has today it will be when his flight takes off from Logan.

 “I’m not concerned to take a boat,” he said.  “I’m much more concerned about flying today."

 The commuter boats plan to continue operating on a normal schedule all week.

The Transit Police asks residents to report any  suspicious or unusual behavior by calling 617-222-1212 or 911 or by texting 873873.
