The road-towed heavy-load ferry may be produced in larger or smaller versions using the same design. Its basic embodiment can transport afloat loads exceeding 16 metric tons (17.6 tons) including its tow vehicle. The ferry essentially comprises three longitudinal hulls. Outboard hulls (12) pivot outward and inward to rest atop central hull (10). Thereby, the ferry is reduced to a width suitable for towing on public roads. Equipment for road towing includes telescoping towing tongue (32), and pneumatic-tired wheels (28) which remain intact afloat. Winch (40) enables kedging across shoal water or ground. The wheels extend below the deployed outboard hulls to assist in kedging by reducing friction, suction, and risk of hull damage. A water-ballast system counterbalances on-board loads and otherwise improves stability in adverse winds, waves, and currents. Hinged gunwales provide additional freeboard.
