	TSB Reports - Marine 1996 - M96M0150
		The ferry is operated by a crew of two: the operator, who controls the cable machinery, the ramps and the barricades from the control station; and a deck-hand, who directs traffic onto and off the ferry.
		Because cable ferries operated by the New Brunswick DOT are not fitted with any type of anchor, in the event of a cable parting, there is no method by which the crew can exercise any control over the movement or aspect of the drifting vessel until such time as assistance arrives.
		Ferry crew who have received the necessary level of marine safety training are more likely to be able to make effective use of the life-saving and fire-fighting equipment fitted on the ferries, and to ensure passenger safety in the event of an emergency.

	Cable ferry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cable ferry or chain ferry is a means of water transportation by which a ferry or other boat is guided and in many cases propelled across a river or other larger body of water by means of cables or chains connected to both shores.
		One is the reaction ferry, which solely uses the power of the river to tack across the current; another is the powered cable ferry which uses an auto or diesel engine to wind itself across the river.
		Ferries are common where there is little other water-borne traffic which could get snagged in the cable or chains, where the water may be too shallow for other options, or where the river current is too strong to permit the safe crossing of a ferry service not attached to the riverbanks.

	FERRY
		All three ferries are based in the northern Tasmanian port city of Devonport; two ferries travel the route to Melbourne, Victoria, and the third to Sydney, New South Wales.
		Reaction ferries are cable ferries that use the perpendicular force of the current as a source of power.
		Free ferries operate in some parts of the world, such as at Woolwich in London, England (across the River Thames), in Amsterdam, Netherlands (across the IJ waterway), in New York Harbor, connecting Manhattan to Staten Island and across many lakes in British Columbia.

	California Delta Chambers Guide To Boating Fishing RVing Delta Waterways
		Ferry crossings were some of the most important sites in the early California Delta, for they provided a means by which travelers could cross the various waterways.
		Ferry crossing rates were established as: man and horse - $3; wagon - $8; and a single person on foot - $1.
		Most of the early ferries (as are some of the remaining ferries today) were guided across the waterways by a rope or cable.

	FLOATING BRIDGES (Rope, Chain & Cable Ferries)
		A chain ferry is one, which operates between a fairly narrow channel using a chain, wire cable or rope spanning the channel by which the ferry pulls itself along.
		The ferry uses a manual or mechanical system to pull itself along the chain by progressively raising it from the bottom and lowering it again behind the direction of travel.
		The fact that the chains or cables could be relied upon to sink to the bed of the tide-way meant that even the Admiralty, that most conservative and stringent of authorities, readily accepted floating bridges across the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour and the Hamoaze at Plymouth.

		The Sellwood ferry was replaced with a covered bridge that had a bar on both ends and in the center.
		The first ferry that had power was built in May 1917 and was destroyed in 1946 when it was swept from its moorings by flood waters.
		In 1996 the ferry was shut down because of a flood and because of the condition at that time, it was shut down and in June 1997 they received a new one that is working now.

	Cable Ferry on the Ottawa River
		According to the proposal, the cable ferries could be operational within two years, and would make use of fairly large barges, each with capacity to handle 25 to 30 cars.
		Obviously, a cable ferry operation will represent a serious hazard for boats engaged in night sailing, and will be problematic for the organizers of long distance races.
		But with comments that a car ferry would be a stop-gap measure until a west-end bridge is built, it appears that the NCC wants to skip over the actual decision making exercise, and simply give everyone the impression that a decision to build a bridge already exists.

		This is apparently a common concern with cable ferries: The cable ahead of the ferry is held taut, obstructing the passage of other vessels.
		The cables would be so thick that they'd weigh too much to even carry their own weight at span.
		Its position could be maintained and its load spread by tethers to the ocean floor and secondary cables and/or by buoys capable of actively correcting their positions.

Common carriers are individuals or organizations that charge to carry passengers or systems or equipment that carries passengers as part of a business operation open to the public.
