Planning your phoenix Bay Jetty
Phoenix Bay is associated with government and harbour ferry services in Port Blair. It is a separate boarding location from Haddo. Use the current DSS sailing and issued ticket to establish whether your journey departs here.

Identify the government service you need
DSS lists Phoenix Bay harbour links including Bambooflat and Hope Town. A harbour journey and a longer island reservation use different service categories; select the correct one before looking for tickets.
For Havelock, Neil or another island, consult the dated notice and boarding instructions. Do not assume every government sailing uses one terminal, or that a ticket counter’s location is the vessel’s boarding point.
Ticketing and documents
Use STARS or the official counter arrangements for the relevant category. Keep the issued ticket and any eligibility document. If seeking a concession, confirm the accepted proof through DSS.
An online booking facility being available does not mean a counter or terminal stays open at all hours. Confirm reporting and local access for your particular sailing.
Plan the correct road transfer
Send the driver the terminal written on your ticket. Allow time for identity checks and the walk to boarding, and ask for assistance in advance if needed.
If changing between a private ferry at Haddo and a government service, allow for baggage collection, road transfer and a new reporting deadline. Two independent tickets are not a guaranteed connection.

Questions before you travel
Can I board a Haddo private ferry at Phoenix Bay?
No. Reach the terminal on your ticket. Similar island destinations do not make the two boarding points interchangeable.
