You add code to make cargo and ferry rendezvous, but no code to find
ferries that need this rendezvous capability. I am tempted to say that
this is premature. In my patch I just disassociate cargo from ferries they
cannot walk to, which is a common error, since this is in line with the
Syela ferry system, which I think we should change but not right now.
Let's clean it up first.

Your cleanup of military_gothere conflicts quite heavily with my own :(,
but I was going in the same direction as you in regards to
manage_ferryboat, I just left it alone since it didn't do much harm as it
was (except for sending ferries exploring instead of going home or pick
units up).
