(WSFA) – July 15, 2021 – The Worldwide Ferry Safety Association (WFSA) today announced the award winning teams for the 8th Annual International Student Design Competition for a Safe, Affordable Ferry. Dr. Roberta Weisbrod, WFSA’s Executive Director, said: “This year, the students were tasked with designing a RoPax ferry to carry around 300 passengers, many of whom prefer the use of outdoor hammocks, plus vehicles and cargo on the Amazon River between Manaus and Tefé on a trip that is to last 20 hours. Because of the continuing spread of Covid 19 in Brazil and its transmission via river transport, student teams were asked to include features to prevent viral transmission. ”
