Before stepping off the ferry, a foot passenger should confirm that the luggage is within the 40kg allowance and can be carried across the gangway in one trip. If either point is unclear, it needs direct confirmation before disembarkation because the available guidance provides no alternative rule for excess luggage or a multi-trip carry.
What the luggage rule establishes
The cited travel-preparation guidance states the 40kg allowance specifically for foot passengers and says they must carry their luggage across the gangway in one trip. No corresponding luggage rule for another passenger category is stated in the cited material.
The guidance does not explain how the luggage is weighed, how several pieces are treated, or what happens when the allowance or one-trip requirement cannot be met. It also states no verified rules for luggage dimensions, restricted contents, storage, transfers, assistance, fees, deadlines, refund conditions or exceptions. These matters should not be inferred from the 40kg figure.
How to check arrival logistics
The journey-planner information points travellers to port facilities, available public transport and each port address. Travellers can use those details to identify the intended landing point and plan onward movement after leaving the ferry.
Those items address arrival logistics rather than the luggage rule. The 40kg allowance and gangway requirement therefore need separate confirmation.
What still needs confirmation
Before disembarking, each traveller should have confirmed:
- that the stated foot-passenger rule applies to their journey;
- how the luggage is weighed and how multiple pieces are treated;
- that all of their luggage can be carried across the gangway in one trip;
- whether size, contents or passenger-category rules create another restriction; and
- whether storage, transfer or assistance arrangements are permitted, including any related cost, deadline or refund condition.
The port address, facilities and public-transport information should also be checked against the onward plan. Any point not covered by the cited guidance remains unverified and should be resolved before leaving the ferry.
