  • You can use the terminal facilities if there is time to do so. Please listen out for any announcements for passengers to board the ferry

  • Security checks take place after Passport Control

  • Random spot checks are carried out at security so please cooperate with the officials

  • On passing through the security area, you will be directed to a bus which will drive you to the foot passenger gangway. In some of our ports, there will be a short walk from the terminal building to board the ship

  • Some of our ports do not have lifts to access the ship and require you to walk up a ramp, an escalator or some stairs, please contact us if you have any mobility issues

  • Please note that we do not provide assistance to foot passengers with their luggage between the ferry terminal and the ship. We recommend that you limit your luggage to a maximum of two pieces of luggage weighing 20kg per crossing
