ferry transport
Boat carrying vehicles
Ferry transport is the movement of passengers, vehicles, or cargo by boat across a body of water, typically on a regular schedule between fixed points.
It serves routes where bridges or tunnels are impractical—across rivers, bays, or between islands: Ferry transport remains essential for coastal communities.
The term covers everything from small river crossings to large oceangoing vessels.
