In line with government requirements all passengers must wear a face covering at all times while onboard the vessel and at the terminal unless there is a valid reason not to wear a mask (Passengers do not need to wear masks in their cars).

Drivers and passengers can remain in their vehicles for the entire crossing, should they choose.

Staff clean and sanitize the ferries after every sailing, including the wiping down of surfaces. The ships also undergo secondary cleaning and sanitizing overnight.

The Government is not advising transport companies to screen customers as it is not an accurate way of detecting people with the illness.
