2. Global Transbay Market Codatu – Ho Chi Minh Ville (November 2008)

Cities that are already using Transbay/Transriver opportunities

A plethora of ferries ply the waters of Hong Kong connecting Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the Outlying Islands, Macau and Mainland China.

Star Ferries Most notable of all is the humble but legendary “Star� Ferry service between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island from piers in Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom in Kowloon and Central and Wan Chai on the Island.

Outlying Island Service Ferries operating from the Central Ferry Piersin Central provide service to the main outlying island of Peng Chau, Cheung Chau, Lamma Island and Lantau Island including Discovery Bay. Two types of ferries operate on most routes: standard ferries and the slightly more expensive fast ferries.

This service is provided from the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan and the China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui.

110,000 services per year More than 14 million people across Sydney Harbour and the Parramatta River each year.

The extensive network connects 39 destinations and spans approximately 37 kilometres from Parramatta in Sydney’s west, Manly in the north and Watsons Bay in the east.

Sydney Ferries' fleet consists of 31 vessels (all of which are wheelchair accessible), which travel around 1.3 million kilometres per year.

How Many People Travel by Ferry?

Ferries operate in 38 states and 3 territories. Nationwide, ferries transported a total of 108 million passengers in 2005.

The states of New York, Washington, California, and New Jersey had the highest reported number of passengers, each with over 9 million passengers in 2005 (table 1).

Travel by ferry accounted for 618 million passenger-miles in 2005.1 By comparison, highway travel by passenger car accounted for 2,670 billion passenger-miles,2 and travel by transit accounted for 50 billion passenger-miles in 2005.3 Where Do Ferries Travel?

Ferry service is primarily located in states with extensive coastline or inland waterways. Most states have some degree of ferry service, as seen in figure 1. In 2005, the majority of ferry routes traveled within a state (81 percent), with the remaining routes either between states (13 percent) or between the United States and another country (6 percent), including Mexico, Canada, the British Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. The median length of a ferry route was 5 nautical miles4 (or approximately 5.8 statute miles), and the median travel time was 30 minutes per ferry route.

Which States’ Ferries Transport the Most Passengers?

Operators in the five states of California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and Washington accounted for onethird of all ferry operators in the United States (table 2). Combined, these five states housed one-third of all ferry terminals5 and their operators ran 289 of the 690 ferries in service in 2005. Two-thirds of all passenger capacity is accounted for by these five states. At the time of the survey, the 289 ferry vessels in these states had capacity for 144,509 passengers, amounting to 66 percent of the Nation’s ferry capacity.

What Types of Access are Provided at Ferry Terminals?

Almost all ferry terminals can be accessed by automobile and about two-thirds provide parking (figure 2). Based on the ferry operator’s self-reported responses, local transportation is provided at many terminals – 35 percent have transit bus service and 6 percent provide access to rail transit, and some terminals have connections for nonlocal travel by intercity or coach bus service (16 percent) or commuter rail or Amtrak (6 percent).6 What Are the Characteristics of the Average Ferry?

The average passenger ferry vessel is about 25 years old and holds 338 passengers. The typical operating speed for ferries is 14 knots7 (or approximately 16.1 statute miles per hour), compared to their average maximum speed of 17 knots (or approximately 19.6 statute miles per hour). The majority of ferries have hulls that are made of steel (53.2 percent), and about one-fourth have hulls made of aluminum (26.1 percent). Nearly all self-propelled ferries use diesel fuel (96.9 percent).

How Do Ferry Businesses Operate?

About half of all ferries are privately owned and operated, and one-third are publicly owned and operated. Most of the remaining ferries are contracted by a public agency and privately operated. About 73 percent of passenger ferry routes operate year round. The remaining ferries operate on a seasonal schedule, most with service during about half of the year.
