Mr Hall noted that with the cost of many things, including gasoline, on the rise, the ferry company wanted to provide some relief to families. The ferry also offers a full-service onboard canteen, a convenience for busy parents.

Taking the ferry also save parents the hassle of traveling with children on highways clogged with vacation and holiday traffic, noted Mr Hall.
