Ferry Booking & Ticketing Software

Passenger manifest: people, not only tickets.

A passenger manifest records the people associated with a voyage. The required contents and reporting process depend on the operation and the applicable passenger-registration rules.

Different from a sales total

A booking may cover several travellers, and the purchaser may not be every passenger. Booked, checked-in and boarded quantities can differ; define which record the departure team needs.

A purchaser is not the whole travelling party

One person can purchase tickets for several travellers. A list of purchasers therefore answers a different question from a voyage record of the people travelling. Define which details the operation needs, when they are checked and who corrects them. Applicable registration and reporting requirements must be confirmed for the service; a sales list is not automatically a statutory manifest.

  • Distinguish purchaser and traveller
  • Define the relevant departure record
  • Confirm required fields and reporting responsibilities

Requirements and responsibility

Confirm required fields, reporting, retention and corrections with the relevant authority or advisers. An operational booking list should not be assumed to satisfy every statutory manifest requirement.
