フェリー is a modern loanword for a large car/passenger ferry, whereas 渡し is a traditional term for a small, simple ferry crossing.
渡し can mean the ferry crossing point or service itself, whereas 渡し船 specifically refers to the boat used for that crossing.
渡り refers broadly to crossing, transit, or migration, while 渡し specifically means a ferry crossing or the act of handing something over.
Used because a 渡し (ferry) is counted as a type of boat/ship (船・舟), so 隻 applies.
Used when counting 渡し (ferry boats) as vessels (船); 艘 is a somewhat technical/literary counter.
