Restrictions Whilst The MV Banksia Is Operating The Passenger Service.

Our main duty ferry the MV Sun will be undergoing annual maintenance and repairs during the period commencing 14th August for a duration of  approximately 2 weeks, during this period the backup ferry MV Banksia will undertake the role of continuing the normal passenger service.

As we are sure you are all aware, the Banksia is slightly smaller and a little more difficult to operate as the main-duty ferry on the local ferry service, due to its configuration and the fact that there is less deck space available for items other than passengers, as such we would request that passengers do not bring anything other than normal household groceries. During this period, we will not be able to accept Bicycles or Prams (unless they are small folding strollers which will be alright when folded up on board the ferry).

A couple of points to assist us to avoid both space and passenger crowding;

  • Please Restrict prams to small folding stroller type.

  • Please do not bring bicycles on the ferry.

  • Entry to the passenger cabin is via three internal steps, so bear this in mind when organising your luggage and shopping.

  • Passengers are not to adjust, remove or tamper with the clear plastic curtains around the aft section of the ferry, under any circumstances.

  • The configuration of the MV Banksia does not permit stowage of a gangway, if you require or need assistance boarding or disembarking, please ask the crew.

  • All school students are to travel in the forward section of the ferry - not in the rear deck area.
