No idea, but a logical guess......Each "string of cars" is probably set, before loading, and only a limited number of idlers, would be needed, and the engine would not have to even be on the loading ramp. The car Ferry looks big enough that the engine should have no problem boarding or departing.
Then........there are "car" ferries, as in automobiles that could make an interesting scenic addition, given the "location is right".
My last trip East, I took the ferry from Port Jefferson, N.Y. to Bridgeport Conn., across Long Island Sound, on my way home..
I was just a bit amazed by how many people had trouble walking, while the Ferry was moving !
Then there are the Ferries from Greenport to Shelter Island, N.Y., and from Shelter Island to North Haven. These are small Ferries holding about nine autos.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
