Brief introduction of ferry
Ferry refers to ships that carry pedestrians, cars, trains and so on across rivers, lakes and seas. Ferries carry passengers, cars or trains across rivers, ports or straits. The place where the ferry starts and ends is called the ferry. Speaking of ferries, this is a long-standing mode of water transportation. Without building a bridge, it is an economical and fast way to transport passengers or vehicles directly to the other side by ferry.
Ferry ferry mainly includes waterfront wall, berthing wharf, approach roads and bridges for vehicles and passengers to get on and off, and the waters where the ferry is moored. Some large ferries also have waiting rooms and stations.
Compared with bridges and tunnels, ferries have shorter construction period and lower construction cost, and can quickly form transportation capacity. Bridges and tunnels are convenient and fast, which is more conducive to improving the transportation capacity of the whole line. Therefore, with the construction and development of bridges and tunnels, ferries will be gradually replaced in most cases. Ferries are used to transport passengers, sometimes called passenger ships.
