Ah - it looks, having a quick look at Wiki, as if your ferries are a bit smaller and a very different configuration -
So - the MV Andrew J. Barberi and the MV Samuel I. Newhouse, known as the “Barberi class”, built 1981 and 1982 respectively. Each boat carries 6,000 passengers and no cars. The boats are 310 feet (94 m) long, 69 feet, 10 inches (21.3 m) wide, with a draft of 13 feet, 6 inches (4.1 m), weight of 3,335 gross tons, service speed of 16 knots (30 km/h), and engines of 7,000 horsepower (5.2 MW).
And for the Ben - Tonnage: 12,747 GT Length: 125.2 metres Beam: 23.4 metres Draught: 5.8 metres Propulsion: Two x MAK 9L32 Speed: 19.5 knots Capacity: Passenger and crew: 636 Cars: 275
Both are important life-lines I would reckon - even if you can now use a bridge - I'd guess things would snarl up without the ferries.
