Extract

This paper is confined to a non-technical survey of the particular application of radar to the maintenance of a fast schedule of ferry vessels operating across a busy tidal river. After some seventeen months' practical experience of this application it is possible to give some opinions of the value of radar as a commercial aid to navigation.

Wallasey Ferries operates a twenty-four hour service between Wallasey and Liverpool, and carries some twenty million passengers per annum.
