- 3. 3 3 FERRY FERRY A ferry is a boat or ship (a merchant ship) used to carry (or ferry) primarily passengers and sometimes vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water. Most ferry operates on regular, frequent, return services. Also known as water bus or water taxi.
- 4. 4 4 TYPES OF FERRIES TYPES OF FERRIES Ferry design depend on the length of the route, passenger or vehicle capacity required, speed requirements and the water conditions the craft must deal with. DOUBLE ENDED:- It has inter changeable bows and sterns, allowing them to shuttle back and forth between two terminals without having to turn around. Ex. Staten Island ferry, Washington State ferry, etc.
- 6. 6 6 HYDROFOIL:- Higher cruising speeds, Only passenger ferry Used at English channel and Canary Island
- 7. 7 7 HOVERCRAFT:- Were developed in 1960 and 1970 to carry cars, SR.N4 was largest It was superseded by catamarans which are nearly as fast and are less affected by sea and weather conditions
- 8. 8 8 CATAMARAN:- It is normally associated with high speed ferry service, Water jet powered vessels RO-RO:- Roll on/ roll off ferries are large, conventional ferries named for the ease by which vehicles can board and leave CRUISEFERRY:- A ship that combines features of a cruise ship with a Ro-Ro ferry
- 10. 10 10 FAST ROPAX FERRY:- Introduced in 1995, Conventional ferry with large garage intake, Large passenger capacity, Diesel propulsion and propellers that sail over 25 knots. TURNTABLE FERRY:- Allows vehicles to load from side, The vehicle platform can be turned sideways to allow sideways loading of vehicles.
- 11. 11 11 PONTOON FERRY:- Used in less developed countries with large river, One or more vehicles are carried on a pontoon with ramps at either end for vehicle to drive on and off, Motorized and able to be steered independently like a boat. FOOT FERRY:- Small craft used to ferry foot passengers, and often also cyclist, over rivers, Self propelled craft or cable ferries.

- 13. 13 13 CABLE FERRY:- Very short distance may be crossed by cable or chain ferry, Human powered, Reaction ferries are cable ferries that use the perpendicular force of the current as a source of power. DOCKING:- Ferry boats often dock at specialized facilities designed to position the boat for loading and unloading called ferry slip, The apron ramp will be a part of ferry itself.
- 15. 15 15 TRANSFER BRIDGE/ TRANSFER BRIDGE/ FERRY SLIP FERRY SLIP A ferry slip is a specialized docking facility that receives a ferry boat or train ferry, A similar structure called a barge slip receives a barge or car float that is used to carry wheeled vehicles across a body of water, In other cases, the ramp is installed at the ferry slip and is called a linkspan or apron, Such ramp is adjustable to accommodate varying water heights and ferry loadings and to move it out of the way during approach and exit.

- 17. 17 17 It is a platform which is used for the purpose of loading and unloading people and goods from ocean going vessels, including boats and ships of all shapes, style and sizes In areas with shallow water or limited space, the landing stage may be designed for use with tenders and ships boats Landing stage may also house customs warehouses, immigration offices, and other government facilities They can also house things like tourist information centers FLOATING LANDING FLOATING LANDING STAGES STAGES

- 19. 19 19 TRANSIT SHEDS TRANSIT SHEDS These are covered temporary structures located adjacent or on the pier or wharf for temporary storage of cargo. PURPOSE:- To protect the cargo from rain, sun, cold, dust etc, To protect the cargo from damage or theft, To separate and stack the individual consignments, Storage of goods discharged from vessels and awaiting clearance through customs and distribution to warehouses, Storage of goods arriving by land and awaiting export.

- 21. 21 21 WAREHOUSE (godowns) WAREHOUSE (godowns) Permanent structure, usually provided on shore or directly behind transit sheds for relatively long term storage of cargo, Made of RCC, timber framing and siding with roofing covering of appropriate roofing materials, It should be light in weight, fire resisting, It should be adjacent to pier or wharves to be served, Road and rail services are provided at the back and front of the warehouses with roads at the end.
- 22. 22 22
- 23. 23 23 COLD STORAGE COLD STORAGE For the purpose of storage of perishable materials like fruits, green vegetables, fish, eggs, food, etc. the cold storage will have to be provided to suit the necessary requirements, The food items which require refrigeration are to be shipped by refrigerated boats, It should be located on the deck as close as possible to ship, The operation of a cold storage plant is a specialized area, The maintenance of correct temperatures, air circulation and humidity are of great importance to maintain the quality of the food item.

- 25. 25 25 APRONS APRONS The open space left immediately in front of a berth is known as apron, It is required for loading and unloading of cargo from vessels, The apron is utilized for the installation of railway tracks and various other mechanical contrivances such as road trucks, cranes etc. use apron for the efficient discharge of the cargo The width of apron depends upon the factors like cost of construction, operation involved, needs of handling the cargo etc The width of apron should be such that it results in minimum travel time of cargo to and from the ship and the transit shed. Width=10m for ports with light traffic to 25m for heavy traffic
