Panstar Group to Launch New Ship ‘Panstar Miracle’ on April 10
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.
