<p>Here is a video showing the loading process: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y0JnpeCdoQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y0JnpeCdoQ</a></p> <p>The articulated ramp is the upper ramp, which can be lifted upwards like a drawbridge to provide head room on the lower deck for loading.</p> <p>The ferry were designed as semi-submersible ship with open deck. Here is the Bali Sea as Super Servant 5: <a>http://bureau-wijsmuller.nl/images/zwaar/Super%20Servant%205/031.jpg</a></p> <p>And here as Dan Lifter: <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/RFA_Sir_Tristram_%26_MV_Dan_Lifter_late_1982.JPG/1200px-RFA_Sir_Tristram_%26_MV_Dan_Lifter_late_1982.JPG">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/RFA_Sir_Tristram_%26_MV_Dan_Lifter_late_1982.JPG/1200px-RFA_Sir_Tristram_%26_MV_Dan_Lifter_late_1982.JPG</a></p> <p>Some time in her live she was widened, most likely as Super Servant 5: <a href="https://img1.fleetmon.com/thumbnails/bali-sea_8106068_59356.940x1000.jpg">https://img1.fleetmon.com/thumbnails/bali-sea_8106068_59356.940x1000.jpg</a></p> <p>And the stern of Bali Sea: <a href="http://www.cgrailway.com/MediaDownLoads/Bali%20Sea%20Stern.JPG">http://www.cgrailway.com/MediaDownLoads/Bali%20Sea%20Stern.JPG</a></p> <p>Water on the deck is not a problem as long as there a means to get it off. It is not an uncommon sight on deep sea tugs: <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/4a/a9/5c/4aa95c1d72396d014811433a18958fb6--ship-wreck-tug-boats.jpg">https://i.pinimg.com/736x/4a/a9/5c/4aa95c1d72396d014811433a18958fb6--ship-wreck-tug-boats.jpg</a></p> <p>Regards, Volker</p>
