The =* key provides additional description about ferry service on a ferry route or at a transport stop.
Public transport stops
With public_transport=*, this tag states whether a ferry stops at this location, using =yes or =no. However, amenity=ferry_terminal is much more frequently used for this feature. See also Public transport#Ferries.
Routes
With route=ferry, this tag can take the highway=* classification of the roads it connects, like a bridge.
Proposed features/ferry lists some other possible values for =*, however these are not as commonly used (as of August 2015).
