Ferry means a ship that carries people, cars, trains, etc. across rivers, lakes and seas. Ferries use ferries to cross passengers, goods and vehicles such as passengers, cars or trains across rivers, harbours or straits. The place where the ferry starts and ends is called the ferry.

Speaking of ferries, this is a long-standing method of water transportation. When no bridges are being built, ferries are a cost-effective and fast way to transport passengers and vehicles directly to the other side.

The ferry ports mainly include the waterfront shore wall, the dock, the approach road for vehicles and passengers and cargo to get on and off the ferry, the approach bridge, and the water area where the ferry is berthed. Some large ferries also have waiting rooms, storage yards, etc.

Advantages of the ferry Zheng Ferry.

Compared with bridges and tunnels, ferries have a short construction period and low construction costs, and can form transportation capacity quickly. However, the passage of bridges and tunnels is convenient and fast, which is more conducive to improving the transportation capacity of the entire line. Therefore, with the construction and development of bridges and tunnels, in most cases the ferry will gradually be replaced by the old rock.

Ferries are used to transport passengers and can sometimes be referred to as passenger ferries.

With the help of giant ferries, the train that transports the entire carriage across the rivers, lakes and seas is the train ferry.

Qiongzhou Strait train ferry is China's first cross-sea train ferry line, it is from the southern tip of the Leizhou Peninsula Hai'an Port to Haikou City on Hainan Island, with a total length of 24 kilometers, with an annual design capacity of 10 million tons of freight and 8 pairs of passenger cars. The first cross-sea train ferry used was Yuehai Railway No. 1, which was designed by the 708 Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry and developed by Shanghai River.

Built by South Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd., it is propelled by twin diesel engines, and the open layer loads passengers, cars and trains, with a total length of 165 4 meters and a width of 22 6 meters; The main deck is a train deck, and the upper deck is a car deck.

board, the rear half of the ferry is provided with passenger cabins. Trains, cars, and passengers boarding and departing from the ferry are completely separated and do not interfere with each other. The ferry has a gross tonnage of 1.34 million tonnes and can carry 40 wagons or 18 wagons with a length of 14 metres and a weight of 80 tonnes.

People are accustomed to the long dragon of trains rumbling across the vast land, but you will not necessarily see the train that cleaves the waves. This kind of train relies on giant ferries to transport entire carriages across rivers, lakes and seas, which is called train ferry transportation.

As early as February 3, 1850, the British used train ferries in Ford Bay, Scotland. At present, there are nearly 40 train ferries in more than 20 countries around the world, and 70 routes have been opened, with a total length of 140,000 kilometers, of which 35 are international routes. For example, across the English Channel from the United Kingdom to France; Sweden to Germany, Sweden to Poland, Sweden to Finland, Finland to Germany; Britain to Belgium across the North Sea; Norway to Denmark across the Skagerak Strait; Trans-Mediterranean from mainland Italy to Sicily; United Kingdom to Canada across Lake Superior and the Pacific Ocean; New Zealand's domestic route across the Cook Strait and a route connecting Japan's four major islands.

Train ferry transportation has its significant characteristics and advantages: first, it does not have to reverse the goods on the wharf like ship transportation, which avoids the damage, pollution and loss of goods, and saves loading and unloading costs; Second, the train car is directly on the ship, and there is no need to build large-scale dock loading and unloading equipment, thus saving construction funds; Third, the operation time in the port is short, which accelerates the turnover of vehicles and ships and the transmission of goods, which can greatly improve the throughput capacity of the port.

China first appeared in 1933 train ferry, so that the Beijing-Shanghai railway in Pukou across the Yangtze River moat, in 1968, after the completion of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, this set of train ferry equipment moved to Wuhu, now the Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge has also been built, the Yangtze River no longer uses train ferries, people turn their attention to the cross-sea train ferry.
