Nice to see them going a bit beyond what I would have expected - like not only waiting for the ambulance, but making it easier for the ambulance to reach the ferry (the other ferry keeping the barrier closed etc). I used to work in an area where we relied on mixed passenger and cargo ferries to get patients onto an island off the coastline. Emergencies on the island are always transported via helicopter, but as there's also a retirement home it also means he had non-emergency transports back onto the island. When we were lucky and knew the transport long enough beforehand, then our command center was able to phone the ferry operator to arrange some cargo space for our ambulance on board. If it was late, then we had to unload the patient and take him with all of our necessary equipment along into the passenger part of the ferry and get him into the patient room. On the island the local ambulance crew welcomed us, took over the patient, and we went along with the patient in their ambulance simply as it would be like 2.5 or 3 hrs before the ferry returned. Means we dropped off the patient at the retirement home and then went to their EMS station before they drove us back to the ferry
The organization here is excellent ! I remember going out of here some years on a ferry . It was so busy ferries , coming in and out all the time . I remember a sign at the entrance facing out to sea. That yachts were not permitted to anchor there , no wonder !
Now Andreas, you know how much we all love your drone and camera footage. We all look forward to seeing your next post of your beautiful country. My son will be moving back to Sweden in December. He starts a new job in Stockholm. I’m so happy. You know how much I love Sweden! 😍
Thank you for another beautiful video. You're fortunate, on the west coast of British Columbia, ferries are an extension of our highway system but have become prohibitively expensive to use. Lots of times they don't run because of weather or breakdowns.
We have a short ferry at our summer house - actually it is the shortest public car ferry in Sweden. Line ferry. It is always parked on the island side and then goes over to get/drop cars on mainland and back again waiting for next departure time. If emergency then it just goes over directly waiting for ambulance and back again without any other cars. I also like the nice slow pace everything has there. This summer an old lady had problems: The car would not start when going off the ferry! She was very stressed. I went up and asked about what was happening, and i also waved by cars behind her. Noticed there were problem with battery. Took contact by eyes and a bit of wave to the captain, he looked out, i said battery problem, he went in and came back with a portable starter. We tried a few times and the car started. I recommended her going to the car workshop nearby to check the battery and perhaps replace it. Then the ferry started loading and we were off again. And during all this time. Guess what happened? Exactly NOTHING! No one honking. No one yelling. No one upset. Everybody just... waited calmly. So lovely! I ride that ferry several times each year just because it is so nice to take that 130 meter three minute ride over and back again. =) And, it is actually the first electric powered public cable ferry in Sweden! It has a giant cable reel that unwinds when leaving the island and winds up again when going back. Over and over again. It was such a success so now they have converted several ferries to the same system. The first cable lasted eight(!) years! Salty water and constantly unwinding and winding.
On the ferry from Texel to the mainland in the Netherlands, the crew is on call if the ferry no longer sails after closing time to bring emergency ambulance transports to the mainland. The bear boat then sails to the other side alone with the ambulance and possibly the family.
For a moment "Bear Boat" had me terribly confused. A boat for bears? A boat operated by bears? 🐻🐻❄ Does The Netherlands even have bears? Then I realised you intended to write "bare boat"
But that's only for the one island. The other islands of the north coast of the Netherlands rely on a helicopter if a patient needs to be transported to a hospital.
Some people want a bridge to be built to theese islands and get rid of the feeries but the majority don’t want a bridge. If you have chosen to move to theese islands the feery comes as part of it. ❤
nice. thank you to all who tried to save that life. I think that it is the best that we can do if we try to save others. Yes. please show more of this and any post story if you can . I'll wait. It's worth it. yep.
There are also a big fast going ambulance ferry whit an ambulance onboard in the surroundings of these islands. I saw it last summer for the first time and saw it again last week.
Normal top speed is 80% and its only reaches that when its kind of late in schedual or ambulance transportation. Im only experience once that the ferry gave near max for us in the ambulance.
sure it does, but as long as not all islands are accessible by bridge or tunnel, it will take a ferry to take emergency vehicles of any kind across. Same in Germany, Norway, and any other place. In special circumstances special solutions might be a thing, like another ambulance on the island heading out to the patient and transporting to patient to the ferry
I live on these iselands, we have 1 station ambulance and theres no hostpital out here so response time can be quite long but any really bad injurie or life/death situation uses a helicopter instead.
The stationed ambulance was probably just busy. Anyway, the way the ferry prepares beforehand to take an ambulance across as fast as possible is some amazing coordination. I used to watch a Dutch ambulance channel (has since been deleted) and in one video it came across a level train crossing, which was closed because there was a train stood in the station. The only thing the ambulance could do was turn on its lights and hope the train driver noticed and left ahead of schedule. They could learn a thing or two about the coordination shown here.
Hönö där är jag uppväxt. Nu bor jag i Mariestad och jobbar som lastbilschaufför men längtar hem till Göteborg och skärgården ❤️ underbar film detta

You live in a wonderful country.
Almost instant unloading after they dock. Impressive.

Love watching ferries come and go day in and day out. It is very fantanizing!

it´s beutefull beacous it tells the story of people going out of there way to help when they are given a opertunity to do so.

Just want to thank you for giving me the chance to see Sweden through your eyes ( and drone).
Congratulations and a big thank you to the ferry crews from an island dweller.

Nice capture! Legend you are 👑🙏👍
Right place for you, wrong time for someone else 🚑
Enjoyed watching the ferries going back and forth, and the BMW driver...... 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
You can drive so fast a rund 14-16 knots but will you drive fule efficency and economic you drive arund 7-8 knots
nice. thank you to all who tried to save that life. I think that it is the best that we can do if we try to save others. Yes. please show more of this and any post story if you can . I'll wait. It's worth it. yep.
There are also a big fast going ambulance ferry whit an ambulance onboard in the surroundings of these islands. I saw it last summer for the first time and saw it again last week.
I guess these ferrys have a speed limit (either for safety reasons or for fuel saving reasons) which doesn't apply while having an ambulance on board
Nice views, thank you.
Superb content and music as always. Beautiful country.
Time to become a professional drone pilot? Nice footage!
Great video again and thanks for sharing it with us. I enjoyed watching it. Drive safe and have a nice day
Top work to all involved, great catch too, what drone do u use please? watching from NZ
Normal top speed is 80% and its only reaches that when its kind of late in schedual or ambulance transportation. Im only experience once that the ferry gave near max for us in the ambulance.
😀🚛 Very cool vid. Thank you.👍
Nice. Thanks. Good quality video. Take care.
Precis som Fåröfärjan.
Snyggt!
Beautiful! What Drone are you using?

Och du menar den längsta leden så är det Holmöleden...tar 45 min xD
I don’t understand this fascination with fairies🧚♂️
Emergency Response Ambulance having to use a ferry that drives up response times I guess?
On one of swedens 220000 islands u expecting a rocket or smth?

Hard to drive on water if Jesus aint behind the wheel 😄
