Western Port Ferries is monitoring the ongoing situation and working closely with the relevant authorities.
Safety of our customers and staff is our top priority and we are following all the advice and guidance issued by Australia’s Department of Health, the Victorian State Government and World Health Organisation (WHO).

We are committed to the safety of our customers and staff and have implemented the following measures to keep everyone safe:

• Cleaning and sanitising of the vessels after every sailing and additional cleaning and sanitising overnight
• Hand sanitizers throughout the vessel
• Social distancing encouraged through announcements and signage
• Online bookings for contactless boarding
• Contactless payment
• All staff trained in Department of Health COVID-19 Infection Control

The Government is not advising transport companies to screen customers as it is not an accurate way of detecting people with the illness.

Staff clean and sanitize the ferries after every sailing, including the wiping down of surfaces. The ships also undergo secondary cleaning and sanitizing overnight.

As we carry around 80,000 people annually, it is impractical to ask everyone where they have recently travelled.

DFAT are are advising people who have travelled to countries such as China and northern Italy where there have been a considerable number of cases to monitor your health for 14 days after leaving that country. If you develop a fever or cough, seek medical advice urgently and isolate yourself.
