Ferry Transportation

Art Anderson Associates is known for providing Value Beyond Engineering® for projects that range from landside buildings to marine vessels. This multi-discipline expertise makes us uniquely qualified for ferry transportation planning projects.

Historically, cities built up around water because of the ease and versatility of waterborne transportation.  Entire economies depended on the ability to move people and goods across water.  This is still true for many island and peninsula-based regions.  For others, land-based transportation networks have reached their breaking point, and are looking back to the water as a part of the solution.

In both cases, our team believes ferries can be integral parts of a comprehensive, world-class transportation system.  Safety, reliability, comfort and mobility are within reach, and we can help our clients get there.
