Are there multiple ferry's at the same time?

Once we dock in Bermuda, since there has to be at least four thousand passengers on the Breakaway and since the ferry holds only around 200 people, how does that work?!!

 

The ferry's come to the dockyard on a certain schedule at a certain time for each route, say every hour, but how do they get thousands of people on one ferry? Or do they have multiple ferry's AT THAT SAME TIME in case there are more than 200 people who want to board at that time?

 

Thanks

Sometimes they'll press an additional ferry into service if the volume of passengers is overwhelming their capacity, but that's not some thing you should count on. I've seen people get left behind . They had to wait for the next scheduled ferry.

 

Not everyone will be trying to get to the same place at the same time. 4,000 passengers don't get off the ship at once. When passengers do disembark some will be riding the ferry to Hamilton. Some will be taking the ferry to St. George's. Some will be riding a bus, taking a beach shuttle, a taxi, a prearranged tour, etc.

Thanks for the heads up.
