FERRY BIG NOW EYED IN PROBE

A top Staten Island Ferry official is under investigation for possible lax enforcement of the ferry’s operating rules, law enforcement sources said.

Patrick Ryan, director of ferry operations in the city Department of Transportation, could be culpable in the Oct. 15 crash that killed 10 and injured 72 if he didn’t make sure ferry workers followed city rules, said the sources.

Ferry workers told The Post that it wasn’t until several weeks after the crash that the city told them of a longstanding rule that requires the captain to be in the dockside pilot house when the ferry docks.

Ryan was allowed to sit in as National Transportation Safety Board probers questioned ferry workers about the crash – but his presence ended after crewmens’ lawyers complained.

News of the widening probe came as Mayor Bloomberg blasted money-grubbing lawyers for trying to profit off the crash, saying the city can quickly settle with victims and survivors.

“We want to get money into people’s hands as expeditiously as we can and without third parties taking a lot of it,” Bloomberg said.

On Monday, the city asked a federal judge to cap the city’s liability in the crash to $14 million – the ferry’s value. The city has been slapped with 81 claims totaling $2.2 billion.

Also yesterday, five ferry workers were suspended five days without pay yesterday for being late to file paperwork showing they live in the city as required, a city spokesman said.

Three workers who admitted not living in the city got 90 days to move.

Capt. Michael Gansas, who has been fired for failing to be interviewed by disaster probers, was being investigated for living in Hazlet, N.J.
