Havelock departure and Port Blair arrival jetties
Departure from Havelock Island
Passenger ferries normally leave from Havelock’s main jetty near Govind Nagar. Official or operator instructions may use the name Swaraj Dweep.
Private ferry arrival in Port Blair
Private services generally arrive at the Haddo passenger terminal. The assigned gate or arrival point can change, so use the issued ticket.
Government ferry terminal
Government services follow the terminal and voyage details notified by DSS and may use a different Port Blair facility from private ferries.
Hotel checkout and jetty transfer
Leave enough time for checkout, luggage collection, the road transfer to Havelock jetty and the complete reporting window on the ticket.
The issued ticket and latest operator instruction are the final source for both terminals, gate, reporting time, baggage rules and check-in closure.

If an operator changes or cancels a sailing, AWT can help review another available connected ferry. Alternatives depend on live seats, fare difference and operator rules and cannot be guaranteed.
Practical Havelock to Port Blair travel tips
- Book ahead when a specific Port Blair arrival matters because preferred return sailings and classes can sell out.
- Do not schedule Havelock sightseeing or an activity close to the reporting window; include checkout, luggage and jetty-transfer time.
- Check passenger names, date, Havelock departure, Port Blair arrival, operator, reporting time and baggage instruction immediately after issue.
- Allow time after Port Blair arrival for disembarkation, luggage, terminal exit and your next land transfer or mainland travel timing.
- Weather, harbour movement and operating decisions can delay, reschedule or cancel a sailing, so avoid a tight onward commitment.
- Use the live search for private-ferry availability and the official DSS schedule and booking process for government services.
