A
ferry (or ferryboat) is a form of transportation, usually a boat, but
sometimes a ship, used to carry (or ferry) primarily passengers, and
sometimes vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water.
-
Ferry
designs depend on the length of the route, the passenger or vehicle
capacity required, speed requirements and the water conditions the craft
must deal with.
-
Ferries can provide an option where ground options are slow and crowded.
Ferries can be a catalyst for development and redevelopment along the
Region's growth needs, then it is imperative to work towards retaining
and expanding the ferry network in the Region.
-
Ferries do not operate in isolation. A ferry is only one link in the
intermodal transportation network. System designers should optimize the
transportation system as a whole, rather than its individual components.
-
The
investment proposal requires an integrated proposal of measures covering
demand forecasting, vessel standards, infrastructure design, community
engagement, legal and capacity building expertise.
-
The
size, type and function of your vessel will determine the extent to
which you need to address inspection procedures. Good managers will
already have in place regimes of regular inspection of their vessel(s).
This starts as simply as checking the engine on a daily basis before
starting, and escalating to two or five year structural checks.
-
Water
based transport is effective as generally speaking, operating costs of
fuel are low and environmental pollution is lower than for corresponding
volumes of movement by road, rail or air.
-
A
major advantage is that the main infrastructure – the waterway – is
often naturally available, which then has to be “trained”, maintained
and upgraded.
-
In
India, the main passenger movements by inland waterways that are viable
are ferry operations across rivers (at numerous locations on all
waterways), on short stretches along rivers and tourism based passenger
traffic (in Goa, Kerala, Sunderbans and Northern regions).
-
In
India, inland water transport on the Ganga may have provided among the
earliest organized transport movements over significant distances, well
before rail and road networks developed.
-
Traffic congestion is considered one of the main urban transportation
problems with an estimated cost of about $100 billion annually in the US
and comparable costs in other countries.
-
One of
the biggest advantages India has is that Indian mentality and lifestyle
is very adaptable to western lifestyle. India adapts and accepts ideas,
culture and products from the west very easily.
-
Money
is the highest barrier to entry of the ferry business. Historically,
government grant programs, such as the $60 million allotted as part of
the 2009 Economic Recovery Act, have gone to buy new ferryboats or
improve existing ferry terminals.
-
Commuting time has an economic value to the individual. Studies have
found that individuals are quite sensitive to time costs - especially
those associated with walking or waiting.
