All three decks are served with a lift and each deck is level. Passengers boarding with vehicles can request to park close to the lift. Passengers boarding via the walkway will find it wheelchair-friendly, with a lift leading from the ground floor to the first floor. The walkway is 100m long and provides level access to the ferry.
