Movable ramp system was constructed in 3 sections which could be adjusted to fit any height of tide for 10,000-ton gross car ferry England; vessel was built at Elsinore yard for United Steamship Co; Carway, as it is called, consists basically of 4 components, 3 of which are shore-based and fourth integral part of ship's car-deck installation; outer drive-on ramp can be folded back hydraulically, thus reducing length of component by about 8 ft 6 in. for transport and storage; ramp inclination is effected by 2 main hydraulic cylinders.
