🚢 Airport to Ferry Terminal

Because ferry reporting times are important, do not plan a very tight connection between your flight and ferry.

• Collect your luggage after landing.

• Keep your ferry ticket accessible.
• Arrange transportation to the boarding point.
• Reach the ferry terminal before reporting time.
