If you're travelling by car, you need to be at the seaport at least 3 hours prior to embarkation; there's a list on which vehicles go first onto the ferry – the Port Agents' offices have a waiting list of all Blue Star Ferries' departures and passengers are required to check which time has been allocated to them.
