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.
3. The captain, at his sole discretion, determines that the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle or the passengers of the vehicle represent a health or safety risk to the vessel and other passengers.
