Ferry Booking & Ticketing Software

Distinguish passenger records from ticket sales totals.

A passenger manifest concerns the people travelling, not simply the number of tickets sold. Required registration, reporting and retention rules depend on the voyage and the applicable authority.

Distinguish the records

The booking contact, ticket purchaser and individual passenger can be different people. Decide how the required traveller information is captured and corrected in the operating process.

A booking contact identifies who arranged or paid for travel. A departure record may need information about each person travelling. Define the data and correction process your operation requires with the competent authority, then confirm the software fields and output. A booking preview is useful operational evidence, but its presence alone does not establish compliance.

  • Who is travelling, rather than only who purchased?
  • Which additions and cancellations affect the record?
  • Who checks and receives the required departure information?

Define the departure cut-off

A usable departure record needs a point at which the responsible team checks additions, cancellations and corrections. Agree the output and recipient required for your operation.

Verify the applicable obligations

Check current requirements with your maritime and legal advisers or competent authority. EU passenger-registration rules and international reporting arrangements have defined scopes; software does not determine compliance.

Confirm the software and export scope

Discuss required fields and output formats with our team. A daily booking preview is an operational view and should not be assumed to be a complete statutory manifest.
