Interislander - Cook Strait Ferries

Alternatively fuelled vehicles

Safety of passengers and crew is our top priority at Interislander.

We collect information on "alternatively fuelled" vehicles, including electric, hydrogen and LPG/CNG, to understand how many of these vehicles are travelling with us and to ensure they are loaded in appropriate areas of our ferries.

If you are bringing a plug-in electric vehicle onboard you will need to avoid using rapid charging for at least 2 hours before check in.

If your electric vehicle has been modified or damaged in a collision we may not carry it.

Please note, there are no charging facilities on board.  The nearest charging stations to our terminals are:

Hydrogen powered vehicles will be carried in the open air to ensure there is no build up of gases.
