MODES OF WATER
TRANSPORTATION
1.FERRY
Ferry- is a boat or ship (a merchant
vessel) used to carry (or ferry) primarily
passengers, and sometimes vehicles and
cargo as well, across a body of water. Most
ferries operate on regular, frequent, return
services. A passenger ferry with many
stops, such as in Venice, Italy, is
sometimes called a water bus or water taxi.
FERRY
TYPES OF FERRY
Ferry designs depend on the length of
the route, the passenger or vehicle capacity
required, speed requirements and the
water conditions the craft must deal with.
 Double-ended- ferries have interchangeable bows and
sterns, allowing them to shuttle back and forth between
two terminals without having to turn around. Well-known
double-ended ferry systems include the Staten Island
Ferry, Washington State Ferries, Star Ferry, several boats
on the North Carolina Ferry System, and the Lake
Champlain Transportation Company.
 Hydrofoils -have the advantage of higher
cruising speeds, succeeding hovercraft on some
English Channel routes where the ferries now
compete against the Eurotunnel and Eurostar
trains that use the Channel Tunnel. Passenger-
only hydrofoils also proved a practical, fast and
relatively economical solution in the Canary
Islands but were recently replaced by faster
catamaran "high speed" ferries that can carry
cars. Their replacement by the larger craft is
seen by critics as a retrograde step given that
the new vessels use much more fuel and foster
the inappropriate use of cars[3] in islands already
suffering from the impact of mass tourism.
HYDROFOILS
 Hovercraft were developed in the 1960s
and 1970s to carry cars. The largest was the
massive SR.N4 which carried cars in its centre
section with ramps at the bow and stern between
England and France. The hovercraft was
superseded by catamarans which are nearly as
fast and are less affected by sea and weather
conditions. Only one service now remains, a foot
passenger service between Portsmouth and the
Isle of Wight run by Hovertravel.
HOVERCRAFT
 Catamarans are normally associated with
high-speed ferry services. Stena Line operates
the largest catamarans in the world, the Stena
HSS class, between the United Kingdom and
Ireland. These waterjet-powered vessels,
displacing 19,638 tonnes, are larger than most
catamarans and can accommodate 375
passenger cars and 1,500 passengers. Other
examples of these super-sizer catamarans are
found in the Brittany Ferries fleet with the
Normandie Express and the Normandie Vitesse.
CATAMARANS
 Roll-on/roll-off ferries (RORO) are large,
conventional ferries named for the ease by which
vehicles can board and leave.
 A cruiseferry is a ship that combines the
features of a cruise ship with a RoRo ferry.
 Fast RoPax ferries are conventional
ferries with a large garage intake and a relatively
large passenger capacity, with conventional
diesel propulsion and propellers that sail over 25
knots (46 km/h; 29 mph). Pioneering this class
of ferries was Attica Group, when it introduced
Superfast I between Greece and Italy in 1995
through its subsidiary company Superfast
Ferries. Cabins, if existent, are much smaller
than those on cruise ships.
RoPax Ferry
 Turntable ferry-This type of ferry allows
vehicles to load from the "side". The vehicle platform can
be turned. When loading, the platform is turned sideways
to allow sideways loading of vehicles. Then the platform is
turned back, in line with the vessel, and the journey across
water is made.
 Pontoon ferries carry vehicles across rivers
and lakes and are widely used in less-developed
countries with large rivers where the cost of
bridge construction is prohibitive. One or more
vehicles are carried on a pontoon with ramps at
either end for vehicles to drive on and off. Cable
ferries (next section) are usually pontoon ferries,
but pontoon ferries on larger rivers are
motorised and able to be steered independently
like a boat.
Pontoon Ferry
 A Train ferry is a ship designed to carry
railway vehicles. Typically, one level of the ship is
fitted with railway tracks, and the vessel has a
door at the front and/or rear to give access to
the wharves.
 Foot ferries are small craft used to ferry
foot passengers, and often also cyclists, over
rivers. These are either self-propelled craft or
cable ferries. Such ferries are for example to be
found on the lower River Schelde in Belgium and
in particular the Netherlands. Regular foot ferry
service also exists in the capital of the Czech
Republic, Prague, and across the Yarra River in
Melbourne, Australia at Newport. Restored,
expanded ferry service in the Port of New York
and New Jersey uses boats for pedestrians only.
Foot Ferry
 Cable or chain ferry, which is usually a
pontoon ferry (see above), where the ferry is
propelled along and steered by cables connected
to each shore. Sometimes the cable ferry is
human powered by someone on the boat.
 Reaction ferries are cable ferries that use
the perpendicular force of the current as a source
of power. Examples of a current propelled ferry
are the four Rhine ferries in Basel, Switzerland.
Cable ferries may be used in fast-flowing rivers
across short distances.
 Air ferries
In the 1950s and 1960s, travel on an "air
ferry" was possible—aeroplanes, often ex-military,
specially equipped to take a small number of cars
in addition to "foot" passengers. These operated
various routes including between the United
Kingdom and Continental Europe. Companies
operating such services included Channel Air
Bridge, Silver City Airways, and Corsair.
Air Ferry
 The term is also applied to any "ferrying" by air, and
is commonly used when referring to airborne military
operations.
1. Boat- is a watercraft of any size designed to
float or plane, to work or travel on water. Small boats
are typically found on inland (lakes) or in protected
coastal areas. However, boats such as the whaleboat
were designed for operation from a ship in an offshore
environment. In naval terms, a boat is a vessel small
enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship).
Another less restrictive definition is a vessel that can be
lifted out of the water. Some definitions do not make a
distinction in size, as 1000-foot bulk freighters on the
Great Lakes are called oreboats. For reasons of naval
tradition, submarines are usually referred to as 'boats'
rather than 'ships', regardless of their size and shape.
Boat
Boats can be categorized into three main types:
 Unpowered or human-powered boats. Unpowered
boats include rafts and floats meant for one-way
downstream travel. Human-powered boats include
canoes, kayaks, gondolas and boats propelled by
poles like a punt.
 Sailboats, which are propelled solely by means of
sails.
 Motorboats, which are propelled by mechanical
means, such as engines.
◦ Ski boats are specialized motorboats specifically designed
to safely tow one or more water skiers. This is achieved by
using a high-horsepower, marine automobile engine, usually
positioned in the midsection and powered through a direct
drive to the propeller. A skier is pulled on a towrope
attached to a tow bar located in front of the drive motor and
affixed to the bottom of the hull. Each approved towboat
must meet or exceed a preset set of standards defined by
the USA Water Ski Federation, formerly the American Water
Ski Association, AWSA
2. A ship is a large buoyant watercraft. Ships are
generally distinguished from boats based on size, shape
and cargo or passenger capacity. Ships are used on
lakes, seas, and rivers for a variety of activities, such
as the transport of people or goods, fishing,
entertainment, public safety, and warfare. Historically, a
"ship" was a sailing vessel with at least three square-
rigged masts and a full bowsprit.
Ships and boats have developed alongside humanity. In
armed conflict and in daily life they have become an
integral part of modern commercial and military
systems. Fishing boats are used by millions of
fishermen throughout the world. Military forces operate
vessels for combat and to transport and support forces
ashore. Commercial vessels, nearly 35,000 in number,
carried 7.4 billion tons of cargo in 2007. As of 2011,
there are about 104,304 ships with IMO numbers in the
world.
Ship
Types of Ships
 Dry cargo ships - tramp freighters, bulk
carriers, cargo liners, container vessels,
barge carriers, Ro-Ro ships, refrigerated
cargo ships, timber carriers, livestock &
light vehicle carriers.
 Liquid cargo ships - Oil tankers,
liquefied gas carriers, chemical carriers.
 Passenger vessels
 Liners, cruise and Special Trade Passenger
(STP) ships
 Cross-channel, coastal and harbour ferries.
 Luxury & cruising yachts
 Sail training and multi-masted ships
 Recreational boats and craft - rowed, masted
and motorised craft
 Special-purpose vessels - weather and
research vessels, deep sea survey vessels, and
icebreakers.
 Submersibles - industrial exploration, scientific
research, tourist and hydrographic survey.
 Warships
 Surface warships - deep and shallow draft
 Submarines
4. A submarine is a watercraft capable of
independent operation underwater. It differs from
a submersible, which has more limited underwater
capability. The term most commonly refers to a
large, crewed, autonomous vessel. It is also
sometimes used historically or colloquially to refer
to remotely operated vehicles and robots, as well
as medium-sized or smaller vessels, such as the
midget submarine and the wet sub. Used as an
adjective in phrases such as submarine cable,
"submarine" means "under the sea". The noun
submarine evolved as a shortened form of
submarine boat (and is often further shortened to
sub). For reasons of naval tradition, submarines
are usually referred to as "boats" rather than as
"ships", regardless of their size.

Regular foot ferry service also exists in the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, and across the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia at Newport. Restored, expanded ferry service in the Port of New York and New Jersey uses boats for pedestrians only.
  • 22.  Cable or chain ferry, which is usually a pontoon ferry (see above), where the ferry is propelled along and steered by cables connected to each shore. Sometimes the cable ferry is human powered by someone on the boat.
  • 23.  Reaction ferries are cable ferries that use the perpendicular force of the current as a source of power. Examples of a current propelled ferry are the four Rhine ferries in Basel, Switzerland. Cable ferries may be used in fast-flowing rivers across short distances.
  • 24.  Air ferries In the 1950s and 1960s, travel on an "air ferry" was possible—aeroplanes, often ex-military, specially equipped to take a small number of cars in addition to "foot" passengers. These operated various routes including between the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. Companies operating such services included Channel Air Bridge, Silver City Airways, and Corsair.
  • 26.  The term is also applied to any "ferrying" by air, and is commonly used when referring to airborne military operations. 1. Boat- is a watercraft of any size designed to float or plane, to work or travel on water. Small boats are typically found on inland (lakes) or in protected coastal areas. However, boats such as the whaleboat were designed for operation from a ship in an offshore environment. In naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship). Another less restrictive definition is a vessel that can be lifted out of the water. Some definitions do not make a distinction in size, as 1000-foot bulk freighters on the Great Lakes are called oreboats. For reasons of naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as 'boats' rather than 'ships', regardless of their size and shape.

  • 28. Boats can be categorized into three main types:  Unpowered or human-powered boats. Unpowered boats include rafts and floats meant for one-way downstream travel. Human-powered boats include canoes, kayaks, gondolas and boats propelled by poles like a punt.  Sailboats, which are propelled solely by means of sails.  Motorboats, which are propelled by mechanical means, such as engines. ◦ Ski boats are specialized motorboats specifically designed to safely tow one or more water skiers. This is achieved by using a high-horsepower, marine automobile engine, usually positioned in the midsection and powered through a direct drive to the propeller. A skier is pulled on a towrope attached to a tow bar located in front of the drive motor and affixed to the bottom of the hull. Each approved towboat must meet or exceed a preset set of standards defined by the USA Water Ski Federation, formerly the American Water Ski Association, AWSA
  • 29. 2. A ship is a large buoyant watercraft. Ships are generally distinguished from boats based on size, shape and cargo or passenger capacity. Ships are used on lakes, seas, and rivers for a variety of activities, such as the transport of people or goods, fishing, entertainment, public safety, and warfare. Historically, a "ship" was a sailing vessel with at least three square- rigged masts and a full bowsprit. Ships and boats have developed alongside humanity. In armed conflict and in daily life they have become an integral part of modern commercial and military systems. Fishing boats are used by millions of fishermen throughout the world. Military forces operate vessels for combat and to transport and support forces ashore. Commercial vessels, nearly 35,000 in number, carried 7.4 billion tons of cargo in 2007. As of 2011, there are about 104,304 ships with IMO numbers in the world.

  • 31. Types of Ships  Dry cargo ships - tramp freighters, bulk carriers, cargo liners, container vessels, barge carriers, Ro-Ro ships, refrigerated cargo ships, timber carriers, livestock & light vehicle carriers.  Liquid cargo ships - Oil tankers, liquefied gas carriers, chemical carriers.  Passenger vessels
  • 32.  Liners, cruise and Special Trade Passenger (STP) ships  Cross-channel, coastal and harbour ferries.  Luxury & cruising yachts  Sail training and multi-masted ships  Recreational boats and craft - rowed, masted and motorised craft  Special-purpose vessels - weather and research vessels, deep sea survey vessels, and icebreakers.  Submersibles - industrial exploration, scientific research, tourist and hydrographic survey.  Warships  Surface warships - deep and shallow draft  Submarines
  • 33. 4. A submarine is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. It differs from a submersible, which has more limited underwater capability. The term most commonly refers to a large, crewed, autonomous vessel. It is also sometimes used historically or colloquially to refer to remotely operated vehicles and robots, as well as medium-sized or smaller vessels, such as the midget submarine and the wet sub. Used as an adjective in phrases such as submarine cable, "submarine" means "under the sea". The noun submarine evolved as a shortened form of submarine boat (and is often further shortened to sub). For reasons of naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as "boats" rather than as "ships", regardless of their size.
