What does 高速船 mean here?
高速船 literally means high-speed boat/ship.
In natural English, it is often translated as:
- high-speed ferry
- fast ferry
- express boat
Which English wording is best depends on the real-world context, but in travel situations high-speed ferry is often the most natural.
What does 乗り継ぎ mean?
乗り継ぎ means a transfer, a connection, or continuing a trip by changing from one vehicle to another.
It comes from the verb 乗り継ぐ, which means:
- to ride from one vehicle to another

- 高速船の乗り継ぎ = a ferry connection / transfer involving the high-speed ferry
