Points to
ponder:
•
Ferries are best for short distances:
– Ferry voyages should not be more than 4-5
hours, especially on fast ferries
– Slower vessels can do overnight trips
•
The key is low fares:
– People will not go through the extra time to
travel by ferry, unless there are savings
– Ferry strategy should be to
expand
the
Regional travel market by making travel more
affordable (i.e. not just to compete with LIAT)
