The types of the ferries:
- Car ferries: It carries vehicles, apart from passengers. They are mostly used to cover short distances and are more economical than bridges or tunnels.
- Catamaran: It is a multi-hulled or two-hulled ship. Catamarans have a larger width compared to classical types of ships and therefore they are more stable on the water. They can also reach a greater speed because they do not get much drag.  There is a type of catamaran that carries only passengers and another that carries both passengers and vehicles.
- Flying Cat: It is a catamaran type with a special design that resembles to a cat.
- High-speed ferries: They are also a catamaran type. Their speed is 50% higher than the speed of a conventional ferry.
