a) The ferry is moving on the water. -This one seems okay, but it depends on the context. Maybe "through" the water would be better.

(b) She walked along the school. -"She walked along the road/river/etc to the school." or "She walked to school."

(c) Dr Lee fills the patients' cavities.- This one seems okay.

(d) We rowed by using oars.-"We rowed using oars." but more context is needed because it might be "We rowed using the oars."

(e) The ambulance sends/carries /takes patients to hospital. -"The ambulance takes patients to hospital" is good, though "carries" is also possible.  "The ambulance sends patients to hospital" means that the ambulance stays at the accident while the patient goes to the hospital.

Can I also say 'The ambulance brings patients to hospital?'

Technically, the ambulances "transport" the patients to hospitals. Any other verb may sound odd or unidiomatic

(a) The ambulances "transport" the patients to hospitals.

What does it mean?  I seldom heard this word from native speaker. Isn't idiomatic?

Context:

Reporter: At the scene of the train accident, many passengers who were on the train were severely injured and were rescued from the wreckage by emergency response team. The scene is described as chaotic as the victims were being loaded onto the Medevac and ambulances to be transported to the hospitals.
