Departure and arrival jetties
Private ferry departure in Port Blair
Private ferries generally depart from the Haddo passenger terminal. The legacy guide referenced Gate 3, but the assigned gate or reporting point can change.
Government ferry departure
Government ferry services have commonly used Phoenix Bay or another notified government terminal and follow their own ticketing and reporting procedure.
Arrival at Havelock Island
Passenger ferries generally arrive at Havelock’s main jetty. Havelock is officially Swaraj Dweep; terminal wording may use either name.
Reporting and luggage
Arrive within the reporting window on the ticket with the required identification. Baggage limits and oversize charges depend on the operator and vessel.
Terminal operations can change at short notice. The issued ticket and operator instruction are the final source for jetty, gate, check-in closure and boarding time.
How to compare and book this ferry route
Search the travel date
Choose Port Blair as the departure point and Havelock as the arrival point, or use the same universal form for any other supported island sector.
Compare the complete journey
Review operator, departure and arrival time, duration, class, returned seats and displayed fare instead of choosing only the first or lowest headline price.
Review travellers and final amount
Enter names and passenger categories accurately, select a supported seat where available and check the final fare components before secure payment.
Receive and manage the ticket
After payment verification and operator confirmation, the PNR and ticket are stored in My AWT and sent to the registered email. Cancellation can be started from My AWT with the charge and estimated refund shown before confirmation.
Know the onboard variation
Air-conditioning, open-deck access, refreshments, entertainment, seating layout and assistance vary by vessel and class. Use the selected operator’s class information rather than assuming every ferry offers the same facilities.
Use local support after a disruption
If an operator changes or cancels a sailing, AWT can help review another available ferry across connected providers. Any alternative depends on live seats, fare difference and operator rules and cannot be guaranteed.
Practical Port Blair to Havelock travel tips
- Book ahead for peak travel dates, weekends and holiday periods because preferred sailings and classes can sell out.
- Keep a practical buffer between your Port Blair arrival time or mainland travel timing and ferry reporting; do not build the plan around a tight connection.
- Check the passenger name, date, route, operator, terminal, reporting time and baggage instruction as soon as the ticket is issued.
- Weather, harbour movement or operational decisions can delay, reschedule or cancel a sailing. Keep the first Havelock activity flexible.
- The legacy guide used one hour before departure as a planning reference and noted that check-in may close before sailing. Follow the exact reporting window on your ticket.
- Private ferries are usually easier to compare online, while government ferry purchase, eligibility and counter procedures follow the current administration process.
Choose the sailing that fits the whole Port Blair to Havelock plan
A good choice balances a safe reporting buffer, arrival time, journey duration, class comfort, live seat availability and the final payable fare. Use the historical details above for planning context, then confirm the actual sailing through the live search and rely on the issued ticket for travel.
