Preface
This is the first edition of the CSA S826 Series of Standards, Ferry Boarding Facilities. It consists of the following four documents:
a) CSA S826.1, Ferry Boarding Facilities — Design;
b) CSA S826.2, Ferry Boarding Facilities — Operations (Guideline);
c) CSA S826.3, Ferry Boarding Facilities — Inspection; and
d) CSA S826.4, Ferry Boarding Facilities — Maintenance (Guideline).
These Standards and Guidelines have been developed as a resource for designers and owners of ferry boarding facilities operated in Canadian waters. Their purpose is to provide a consolidated standard of minimum requirements and guidelines for the design, operation, inspection, and maintenance of such facilities. Additionally, they are intended to encompass items not addressed in other standards.
These Standards reflect the diversity of ferry boarding facilities and their operating environments throughout Canada and are therefore based on general principles and objectives. Requirements are expressed in broad terms so that they may have the widest possible national application.
To accommodate the diversity of applications in Canada, the provisions set out by these Standards combine both code requirements and guidelines. In general, the design Standard (CSA S826.1) and the inspection Standard (CSA S826.3) are Standards expressed in mandatory language. The operations (CSA S826.2) and maintenance (CSA S826.4) Guidelines are expressed in recommendatory language.

CSA S826.1:01 - Ferry Boarding Facilities — Design
Scope
1.1
This Standard specifies requirements that are consistent with current practice for the design of new, or the replacement of existing, boarding facilities, including
(a) vehicular and foot passenger ramps and support structures;
(b) access interfaces between shore/ramp and ramp/vessel; and
(c) operating systems.
Note: Existing installations are exempt from this Standard until major structural, mechanical, or electrical modifications are undertaken.
1.2
The provisions of this Standard apply to single-level and multilevel boarding facility ramps with a shore- based hinged connection and seaward end conditions in accordance with one of the following:
(a) the seaward end of the ramp is supported by shore-connected structures, and transition to the ferry (vessel) decks is achieved by an apron attached to either the vessel or the ramp;
(b) the seaward end of the ramp is supported by the vessel for traffic loading and off-loading periods. Support at other times is provided by fixed or floating shore-connected structures; or
(c) the seaward end of the ramp is supported by a floating structure at all times.
Note: Appendices A and B contain information and illustrations on geometry and ramp supporting systems.
1.3
This Standard establishes specific requirements for two operating conditions:
(a) Condition 3, in which the ramp is adjusted only when completely cleared of vehicular or pedestrian traffic; and
(b) Condition 33, in which the ramp is adjusted with full live load.
1.4
Vehicular design loads are based on highway traffic loadings listed in CSA Standard CAN/CSA-S6 and on provincial highway loading limits. For vehicles to which these Standards do not apply, the design principles may be applied to the actual vehicle loading.
1.5
This Standard does not include provisions for the design of ancillary wharf, trestle, or berthing structures.
1.6
This Standard does not apply to the design of railroad boarding ramps.
1.7
The provisions of this Standard are not intended to preclude the advent or introduction of new technology, processes, or materials that conform to sound design principles and are not covered in this Standard.
1.8
The requirements of this Standard assume that the provisions set out in CSA Standards CAN/CSA-S826.2, CAN/CSA-S826.3, and CAN/CSA-S826.4 will be applied.
1.9
The values given in SI (metric) units are the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only and are used mainly to identify nominally sized components.

CSA S826.2:01 - Ferry Boarding Facilities — Operations (Guideline)
Scope
1.1 Objective
Guidelines for the operation of ferry boarding facilities (hereafter called boarding facilities) have been developed as a resource for owners of such facilities. Their purpose is to ensure the safe operation of boarding facilities, the prevention of injury or loss of life, and the avoidance of damage to property or the marine environment.
1.2 Application
The measures set forth in these guidelines may be applied to all boarding facilities as they relate to fixed or movable loading ramps employed as vessel-to-shore transfer systems for vehicles and/or passengers. Safe operation procedures for ferry boarding facilities are complemented by regular planned inspection programs and maintenance programs, as set forth in CSA Standards CAN/CSA-S826.3 and CAN/CSA-S826.4, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CSA S826.3:01 - Ferry Boarding Facilities — Inspection
Scope
1.1 Objective
Requirements for the inspection of ferry boarding facilities hereafter called boarding facilities) have been developed as a resource for owners and personnel responsible for the operation of such facilities. The purpose of these requirements is to ensure the safe, reliable, and prolonged duty life of boarding facilities through the timely identification of all repair, rehabilitation, or other maintenance needs.
1.2 Application
The requirements of this Standard may be applied to all boarding facilities as they relate to
(a) in-service facilities employed for the vessel-to-shore transfer of vehicles and/or passengers; and
(b) any structural, mechanical, electrical, or other components and equipment forming part, or affecting the safety and reliability, of such a transfer system.
1.3 Designers’ Instructions
This Standard requires that the designer(s) of the facility identify components of the facility that are critical to the safe and reliable operation of the facility.
1.4 Inspections during Construction
This Standard does not address inspection requirements and procedures that are to be employed during the construction or renovation of a facility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CSA S826.4:01 - Ferry Boarding Facilities — Maintenance (Guideline)
Scope
1.1 Objective
Guidelines for the maintenance of ferry boarding facilities (hereafter called boarding facilities) have been developed as a resource for owners and personnel responsible for the care of such facilities. The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of boarding facilities through effective maintenance practices.
1.2 Application
The measures set forth in these guidelines may be applied to all boarding facilities as they relate to
(a) in-service facilities employed for the vessel-to-shore transfer of vehicles and/or passengers; and
(b) any components and equipment forming part, or affecting the safety and reliability, of such a transfer system.
