2. FERRY
• A FERRY IS A BOAT OR SHIP USED TO CARRY PASSENGERS AND
SOMETIMES VEHICLES & CARGO AS WELL ACROSS THE WATER.
• Other names water bus or water taxi.
• Depend on Length of route, passenger or vehicle capacity, speed
requirement and water condition.

3. Types of ferries
1. Double-ended
2. Hydrofoil
3. Hovercraft
4. Catamaran
5. Ro-ro
6. Cruiseferry

4. Double-Ended
Double-ended ferries have interchangeable bows and stern, allowing
them to shuttle back and forth between two terminal without having to
turn around

5. Hydrofoil
• It have advantage of higher cruising speed, succeeding hovercraft on
some English channel route.

6. Hovercraft
• Hovercraft are developed in 1960s to carry cars.
• The largest was massive SR.N4 which carried cars in centre section
with ramps at bow and stern between England and france.
• It was superseded by catamarans which are nearly as fast and are less
affected by sea

8. Catamaran
It is normally associated with high speed ferry service, water jet
powered vessels

9. Ro-ro
• Roll-on/ Roll-off ferry are large, conventional ferries named for ease
by which vehicle can board and leave

10. Cruiseferry
• A ship that combines features of a cruise ship with a Ro-Ro ferry

11. Turntable ferry
• It Allow vehicle to load from side
• The platform can be turned
• When loading platform is turned sideways to allow sideways loading
of vehicle

12. Pontoon:
Carry vehicles across rivers and lakes

13. Fast ropax ferry Foot ferry

15. Transfer Bridge / 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. FLOATING LANDING STAGES
• 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 ship’s boats
• stage may also house customs warehouses, immigration offices, and
other government facilities
• They can also house things like tourist information centers

19. TRANSIT SHEDS

20. 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. WAREHOUSE
• 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.

23. Apron

24. • 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

25. Cargo Handling Equipment's
