So here is how our discussion went;
If we were able to source a vessel able to handle UPS 18 wheelers, containers, or even delivery trucks, you need a place to load and disembark.... The Ferry Co. isn't going to offer that up. Nor the cranes to unload.
So then we went to air... This would allow UPS to deliver from Worcester maybe.. This would keep the delivery from having to be in traffic, getting over the bridge and onto the ferry. That is the savings to offset the cost of a designated plane capable of supplying the delivery needs to both islands. Sure, there will be investment costs (plane) and landing fees, etc. But if the major delivery services were to join together and create a separate service to supply all their island delivery needs... and they all leave necessary delivery vehicles on island... Well that would get the Ferry Co. attention, don't you think? It will be worked out. And it might well be just a marketing ploy by the islands and/or Ferry Co. to generate more traffic, more reservations, etc.
