Displays the route of a ferry on sea. Use the route=ferrytag to show the route of a ferry:

route	ferry	defines a ferryline
ref	Number	Referenznumber of the ferry line
operator	Name	operator of the ferry
network	Name	linked transport system
ferry:cable	yes/no	State whether the ferry is a rope ferry

You can either use the tag a single way Way drawn along the whole route, or on a relation Relation (type=route) containing several ways joined end-to-end. More infomations=traffic lines.

traffic lines

A type=route is a customary or regular line of passage or travel, often predetermined and publicized. Routes consist of paths taken repeatedly by people and vehicles: a ship on the North Atlantic route, a car on a numbered road, a bus on its route or a cyclist on a national route. A route (or variant) may belong to a route type=route_master. A route master contains all the directions, variant routes and information for that route. It permits OSM to distinguish the two routes of a two-way trip.

halt point (vehicle)

Use public_transport=stop_position to identify the place where a vehicle stops along a public transport route to pick up or drop-off passengers (put the point in the middle of the track from the platform). This tag can be used for any transport mode, or combination of transport modes (including rail, bus, tram, flight, taxi and ship). Use {tag|public_transport|platform}} and/or {tag|highway|bus_stop}} to identify the places where passengers wait for the service.
