The drydocking contract opportunity includes inspections and maintenance of the ferries and this is the first occurrence for TfL's two vessels, and the first such contract undertaken by TfL. Each vessel is 60m in length and 19m width.Įvery 5 years, vessels have to undergo dry docking which is necessary to maintain vessel classification and to ensure a safe, operable and reliable service. The vessels were built by Remontowa and were brought into service in 2018. The Woolwich Ferry has two vessels that operate a vehicle and passenger service between two terminals on either side of the river Thames.

In January 2021, the operation was taken in-house by TfL, having been run through outsourced marine operators until the end of 2020. Transport for London (TfL) operates he Woolwich Ferry (WF) service which was transferred to TfL in 2000.
