===Double-ended=== [[File:Ferrytobermory.jpg|thumb|Ferry in Ontario (Manitoulin Island) vehicles load via the front and back of the ferry opening hull]] Double-ended ferries have interchangeable bows and sterns, allowing them to shuttle back and forth between two [[Ferry terminal|terminals]] without having to turn around. Well-known double-ended ferry systems include the [[BC Ferries]], the [[Staten Island Ferry]], [[Washington State Ferries]], [[Star Ferry]], several ferries on the [[North Carolina Ferry System]], and the [[Lake Champlain Transportation Company]]. Most Norwegian fjord and coastal ferries are double-ended vessels. All [[Marine Atlantic|ferries]] from southern [[Prince Edward Island]] to the mainland of Canada were double-ended. This service was discontinued upon completion of the [[Confederation Bridge]]. Some ferries in [[Sydney Ferries|Sydney, Australia]] and [[BC Ferries|British Columbia]] are also double-ended. In 2008, BC Ferries launched the first of the [[Coastal-class ferry|Coastal-class ferries]], which at the time were the world's largest double enders. These were surpassed as the world's largest double-enders when [[P&O Ferries]] launched their first double-ender, called the [[P&O Pioneer]], which entered service in June 2023 replacing Pride of Kent.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.niferry.co.uk/first-new-po-ferries-dover-ship-floated-out-in-china/|title=First new P&O Ferries Dover ship floated out in China|publisher=NI Ferry|date=2022-01-08|access-date=8 January 2022|archive-date=8 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220108002716/https://www.niferry.co.uk/first-new-po-ferries-dover-ship-floated-out-in-china/|url-status=live}}</ref>
