Quite complex mooring structures on both sides, despite being only a short river crossing. In Hungary, ferry "ports" scattered across the Danube have no facilities or dedicated structures at all, the ferry just "runs aground" and the vehicles then board and deboard without any particular ramp. Is there any specific reason why a river crossing features such complex equipment? One thing I can think of is the fact that the shores of the Danube in Hungary are low-lying, with no need for any specific bridge between land and ferry. I guess the shores of the St. Lawrence River are higher ground, thus extra facilities are necessary. Great video as always!
