Irish Ferries has published enhanced health and safety measures for travellers and crew on its Irish Sea routes.
The new measures include:
- In-car check-in with staggered boarding and disembarkation processes to limit contact with staff and to maintain social distancing
- All crew to wear masks and visors, and plexiglass introduced at counters
- Wide availability of hand sanitisers for passenger use and the introduction of new technology to ‘fog’ cabins on departure
- More deep on-board cleaning, focusing on frequent touchpoints
A spokesperson said: “The safety of our passengers and crew is our number one priority, and it is our job to do everything that we possibly can to make sure our valued customers are completely confident when choosing to travel with Irish Ferries.
“Once restrictions are lifted, we know there is going to be a strong desire to get out and about – many will wish to reunite with their families, take short breaks away, or simply to escape their homes to experience the great outdoors.”
“Travel to Ireland by car is the perfect option for families and couples, providing both privacy and comfort, as well as the flexibility and freedom to discover all that Ireland has to offer at leisure. We look forward to welcoming passengers onboard.”
