Oh the squeeking noise? The Boat was against the wood and as it started to move the noise happened.

noo... there was this tweet tweet - tweet buzz buzz buzz buzz at the very start O.O

I did hear the wood scraping and cracking... the tweet buzz however was quite loud.

I heard it too. Two tweets and a buzz just prior to the scraping sound.

Ok just listened to it again. It's definately the boat moving against the wood. Just the first bit seems to be much higher pitched.

I still disagree... at 0:09 there's this distinct tweet tweet - tweet buzz buzz buzz buzz. Buzzing or tweeting doesn't sound like wood scraping or cracking.

Still sounds like wood against boat to me from the friction between them.

I'm agreeing with Peter here. I heard the sounds and they're friction between wood and steel.

...And I agree, too! This is harmless to both dock and ferryboat. I start to like this ferry very much, starting by the name...
I'll send then a graphite drawing I'm doing right it right this evening!
