available to, sometimes indirectly, practically every island
in the country.

to see parts of the country not afforded by other means
of travel. There are four types of boat and ferry transport

passengers as well as cars. Tickets are usually bought in
advance and passengers are usually required to 'check-in'
three hours before sailing time.
+ ROROs: Roll On, Roll Off ferries for cars. Tickets usually
paid in advance.
+ Fastcraft: fast means of transport between big islands
usually in the form of a modern, air-conditioned, catamaran.
Tickets are purchased at the dockside before departure.

in close proximity to one another. Considered the taxis of
the sea, motorized bangkas are called 'pumpboats'. Tickets
