Important Travel and Cargo Reminders
Before booking your trip or cargo shipment, make sure to prepare the necessary requirements. Passengers should bring valid identification and confirm ticket details before the departure date.

For cargo shipments, make sure your items are properly packed, labeled, and documented. Some items may require special permits or additional handling. Cargo acceptance rules may vary depending on the route, cargo type, and vessel capacity.
It is also important to arrive at the port early. Port processing may take time, especially during busy travel periods. Early arrival helps avoid delays and gives you enough time for check-in, cargo acceptance, payment verification, and boarding procedures.
