Putting an electric ferry into service

Before a new ferry carries its first riders, the boat, the chargers on shore and the trained crew must all be ready on the same date. Here the launch is one project: assembly and landing photos, the trials punch list, four lists of work and the opening timetable.

The Loon Electric Ferry project in Thicket over a photograph of a calm lake at dawn with forested hills: the health flag reading At risk, the project's dates and six people, then six cards: the Message Board with the late transformer on top, To-dos with four lists on the progress chart, Building the Loon as nine photographs of the ferry's assembly and launch, the Punch list board with cards in To diagnose, Builder's list and Waiting on parts, The landings as nine photographs of the ramps and charging towers, and Ferry docs with the first month's timetable, the utility's letter and the rider questions.

Kittredge County Ferry Service posts trial results and rider questions on the Message Board and runs lake trials, the landings, the crew and opening day as four lists in To-dos, each a dot on the progress chart. Every fault found on the lake moves across a punch list on Boards until it is fixed, and photos of the build and both landings sit in two Docs & Files grids beside the ferry's documents.
