Cummins to Power Kuching Cross-River Ferry
![Photo: Cummins](https://images.marinelink.com/images/maritime/w200h200c/photo-cummins-107569.jpg)
So many cities are built on rivers for obvious reasons of transport up and down but also as ports for foreign trade. But not all of a port city’s trade is up and down the river. People and vehicles must also cross the river. Bridges are great and most cities have one or more, but they are expensive and they lack flexibility.In Kuching, Sarawak this cross-river traffic created the niche for a ferry.
