Medical Facilities
- All Irish Ferries vessels are equipped with medical supplies in accordance with the latest Medical Store Regulations. Supplementing the medical facilities on board is a full 24-hour radio medical service.
- All Irish Ferries Captains and Officers receive comprehensive first aid training. In addition, there is a first aid team on board each ship, where the designated personnel have completed an intensive para-medical course covering a full range of medical emergencies.
- Our vessels travel sufficiently close to the coastline to be within range of helicopter assistance at all times.
Medical Oxygen
- Passengers travelling on any of our cruise ferries in a private vehicle may carry a maximum of 6 size "F" or smaller cylinders containing compressed Oxygen UN1072. Passengers must carry a letter from their doctor confirming that they require medical oxygen. The onus is on the passenger to ensure that their own medical oxygen cylinder is in good working order.
- Due to the nature of the fast craft, oxygen cylinders are not allowed on the Dublin Swift vessel on the Dublin - Holyhead route.
For any accessibility, reduced mobility or special needs, please don't hesitate to contact our Disability officer by email at least 2 working days in advance of travel by emailing us at [email protected].
