Panstar Group to Launch New Ship ‘Panstar Miracle’ on April 10
Taiheiyo Ferry Launches ‘Smart Boarding’ Service with Smartphone Ticket and Room Key
Taiheiyo Ferry will gradually start offering the ‘Smart Boarding’ service from January 26.
The service allows passengers to use a mobile QR boarding ticket, sent via email in advance, to complete boarding procedures and unlock individual and women-only rooms. Previously, it was necessary to exchange the boarding pass at the check-in counter, but now passengers without vehicles can head directly to the boarding gate. For those with vehicles, it is necessary to issue a sticker from the vehicle sticker dispenser.
The start date varies for each ship: “Kiso” will offer it from January 26, “Kitakami” from February 24, and “Ishikari” from March 13.
