Ferry Industry Facts
What is a Ferry?
- A ferry is a vessel used to transport passengers and/or vehicles across a body of water on a regular, frequent basis. Ferries can range from small boats carrying passengers across a harbour or river in an urban setting, to large sea-going ships carrying passengers, cars, trucks and other heavy cargo across longer distances where overnight sleeping accommodations are required.
- Generally not included in the definition of “Ferries” are the following:
- Vessels that do not operate on a regular schedule
- Vessels that normally carry cargo but that may occasionally carry passengers and/or vehicles.
- Vessels that operate on routes greater than 48 hours in duration.
- Vessels whose main purpose is not the transport of passengers/vehicles from point A to point B, e.g a cruise ship.
