Andaman Government Ferry Services

Government fleets from Port Blair to Havelock Island are operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS). The department primarily operates for the convenience of local islanders. Since this is the only way of transportation for the islanders, ferry tickets are highly subsidised for them. Residents also have a decent local knowledge which makes using the government fleet convenient for them.

Though slightly cheaper in comparison to the private  ferry, government Ferry booking is not available on our platform as we think that from a tourist’s point of view, it’s not the most feasible way as government ferry tickets can be harder to obtain for tourists. However, they’re available every day and depart from Phoenix Bay Jetty in Port Blair, Andaman Islands.

Why do we recommend a Private ferry over Government ferry?

As mentioned earlier, we as localities feel that for a more relaxed and hassle-free holiday experience in the Andaman Islands, it’s advisable to opt for a private  ferry which primarily works for travellers. The government ones are designed mainly for local transportation and may not be the ideal choice for tourists. Go2Andaman does not facilitate ferry bookings for government ferry tickets. If you plan to use them, ferry tickets can be purchased upon arrival at Port Blair. Keep in mind that ticket queues tend to form early in the morning, and if you find yourself at the back of the line, there’s a chance that seats may be occupied by the time your turn arrives. Moreover, having only limited seats, the ferry tickets of government ferry are booked months in advance, sometimes the waiting is 4-6 months.
