its possible to unload via pontoons attached to the ramp, , or through a roll-on platform angled diagonally from the rear ramp platform to the quay. Small vehicles only, but heavier stuff could follow on later - same as last time
Joint Venture was fitted with a folding diagonal ramp which allowed unloading anywhere - but there wouldn't be time to engineer that, so something makeshift would have to do.
PS - I think my earlier post may have misrepresented the situation. . On checking the current whereabouts of the Incat boats there aren't so many down south- certainly not ten. So maybe just two or three - followed by a conventional ferry fleet.
