For customers undergoing medical treatment, we may require a medical certificate from your doctor or the presence of a caregiver. If you need to board with a caregiver or medical equipment such as a medical vehicle or stretcher, please contact the reservation center in advance.

Boarding and disembarkation assistance

Please understand the following before making a reservation.
・There is a limit to the number of people who can use this service, so please refrain from using it if you have a lot of luggage or other reasons.
・In the case that there are many people using boarding assistance, the accompanying person may not be able to board the shuttle vehicle(unless the Company's staff considers it necessary for the accompanying person to do so).
・If you wish to use this service, please complete the procedure at least 30 minutes before departure (please note that we may not be able to accommodate requests immediately before departure).

Nursing care vehicle(Slope type)The
Introduced as a boarding/disembarking assistance vehicle

At Marix Line, when boarding a ferry, we have introduced a nursing care vehicle with a ramp that allows passengers to board and disembark from the ferry while in a wheelchair.

About Reservations for Embarkation and Disembarkation
(Advance Reservations by phone and at the Counter）

We will confirm whether the wheelchair is electric or manual, the size of the wheelchair, and whether the passenger will be accompanied by an escort or not.
Since this route is a long voyage, we recommend that you board the ship with an escort to ensure your safety and comfort. We provide wheelchair-accessible vehicles for embarkation and disembarkation, but please let us know if you have your own nursing care cab or other means of transportation.
(Depending on the port and situation, a regular passenger car may be used instead of a nursing care vehicle to assist passengers boarding and disembarking the ship.)
