Reservations will be terminated for any vehicles not lined-up at least twenty (20) minutes prior to scheduled sailing time, as noted in the line above.

All vehicles with reservations that have lined-up at least twenty (20) minutes prior to scheduled sailing time will be loaded on the ferry unless one of the following applies:

  1. An emergency vehicle must be loaded, (e.g. ambulance, police).
  2. The vehicle with the reservation exceeds the weight or dimensions of the ferry or the loading ramp.
